Creel
Annual Dinner
The LDAA annual dinner and presentation of
trophies was held on Sat 18th March at the St Cyrus Hotel.
After an excellent meal the President of the
Association Mr Ian Strachan Jnr made the presentation of the
trophies for last years competitions. This is the last time the
trophies will be presented as the Association has decided to
dispense with competition fishing (see below)
From Left to Right we have :- Ian Strachan Jnr,
Ian Strachan Snr, Aaron Greig and Bill Taylor.
***********************************
The Association is heading in a new
direction this year to try and encourage new members and particularly
younger
members who are after all the life blood of the club. There will in
effect be
no competition fishing organized for the foreseeable future. It was
felt that
the competition bias within the club perhaps put off the leisure angler
from
joining the Association.
To remedy this we have decided to
organize outings throughout the year to various select venues. (See
bottom
left) There will be no competitive element to these outings in fact we
are
hoping they will turn into a more social event with a BBQ on hand at
some and
perhaps stopping off for a meal on the way home at others. The
committee also
felt it would be a more relaxed way to introduce youngsters to fly
fishing
perhaps teaming two of our experienced members to look after a young
angler who would
like to try some of our larger waters but may be a bit daunted at
fishing at
the likes of Loch Leven or Loch Earn without an experienced guide at
hand.
We are always open to suggestions on how
we can improve our facilities so please get in touch if you have any
ideas on
how we can improve the Association.

Outings
Loch Lee
Ready for the off
First
outing of the season saw 10 anglers fish Loch Lee in almost ideal
conditions. Everybody caught fish in the morning but the afternoon
sport was a little slow, a good day all round though. A BBQ was
organised for lunch and head chef Eric Greig cooked up some mean
burgers.
Richard still does not realise your
supposed to cast over water
(Please note
dates are subject to change please check back regularly)
