Weekly Reports & News
Date: 7 Mar10
A number of anglers seem surprised when I tell them that Artloch remains frozen when other fisheries are now open. As a photograph tell the story, the above was taken Sunday 7 Mar. I'm hopeful that Artloch will be open towards the end of this week, but if we get any more frosts at night, it will be later.
As soon as the loch becomes clear, the website will be updated; if in doubt, please call 01466 799410 or 794415 during normal working hours.
Our Troutmaster fish-off competition will take place on Saturday 27 March 2010 and, at the moment, the loch will remain open to casual anglers.
To date, 12 anglers caught a tagged fish and left Artloch with a Sharpe's of Aberdeen Belmont Fly Rod. To be in with a chance of taking home a Rod, all that is required is a extra £1 to enter when you pay for your fishing.
