June 1, 2017June 4, 2017Club Secretary

The 2017 season got off to a great start today with 14 salmon caught down at Bonar Bridge and one caught up at the Scap by Paul Moran. The first salmon of the new season was caught by Adam Ormston in the Honeypot at about 9am this morning, a fish of about 12lb, and fish were caught right through to the end of the tide with a number of anglers, including Adam, scoring doubles.

Upper Oykel Fishing

For details, please see the Upper Oykel Fishings page.

Correction

May 25, 2017Club Secretary

In the letter sent with the membership cards and tags it was stated that:

The top of the Kyle down to the KoSAA boat mooring at Altass can now only be fished from the right bank or by boat.

This is incorrect and should read:

The top of the Kyle down to just below the first Altass turn off, travelling from Inveran, can now only be fished from the right bank or by boat.

The maps page shows the correct limits.

Access to the North Bank of the Scap

May 14, 2017Club Secretary

There are 3 padlocks on the stock gate at the entrance to the Lagain track.

One lock is for KoSAA access and the other 2 are for the other users of the track.

Please do not bypass the other 2 locks when locking the gate. The track should be accessible by unlocking any one of the 3 locks.

Thank you for your co-operation.
