Fishery Report Menteith Weekly Report 6th November

The last day of the trout season at the Lake was the annual

Menteith School and Kirk Day.

The fisheries company donates all the 40 plus boat proceeds to the Kirk and School and a barbeque and giant raffle is held by the PTA to the Port School, a small rural primary with 25 pupils.

The generosity of the anglers and the fisheries board is greatly appreciated by the community, and it allows both the Kirk and School to make some purchases (heating / interactive white boards) that make a big difference. In appreciation, the school children sang some beautiful songs to those gathered.

This year a record amount of £2716.50 was raised. Sincere thanks to all those who supported the event which included; The Lake Fisheries Board, the Anglers, the Aberfoyle Butcher, The Lake Hotel, The Lion and Unicorn Hotel, The Forth Inn, Kenny Miller, Frank Boggie, Martin Grantham, John Buchanan and DS Wholesalers Dunblane.

Just in case the day wasn’t special enough the Lake provided a new fishery record, a resident of 17lbs 13oz. – caught on a surface fished white booby at Gateside.

The Lake re-opens for trout fishing on the 24th March 2007.
