Loch Achray Meet 18-21 September

[Shewie]

I think I'll bring my usual grub and see what happens, I don't want to be responsible for poisoning 20+ folk.

 

[JohnC]

Afraid I will not be able to go, however, enjoy the trees and the water. Look forward to some pictures......

[Grooveski]

I'll stick the 'chute and a rope into the car.
..and a target.

 

[locum76]

I'll be coming up early on saturday and just staying the one night. I'd be up for helping out with cooking if something comes together equipment wise.

 

[stooboy]

Whats the crack with the fishing? google yielded results saying its fly only from boat only can anyone confirm?

 

[Grooveski]

If I remember right you're not even allowed to use your own boat. Something about hiring them.
Can't say I've ever seen another boat on the water though. I presume they're based at the big hotel with the spires but not sure.

Venachar is an easy paddle away and less prescriptive.

Fish have been caught at previous meets but obviously it wouldn't be right to just say "sod them, do what you like!".
Before anyone has a go, I don't fish freshwater. Can't be bothered with the regulations. On the odd occasion I have it's been with a permit and within the law.

 

[Shewie]

The forecast is looking pretty good for the weekend.

Generally warm with hardly any rain and light winds from the east / south east.

be a shame not to come if the weather is looking so good i need a chilled out weekend, ill chuck the rod in the car anyway and enquire when i get up there as to options.

 

[Grooveski]

The folk at the centre on Loch Venachar will know the score. They sell permits for Venachar, Lubnaig and I think the Leny too. It's about half way along the north shore on the road in from Callander.

 

[Shewie]

Magikelly has done some maps over on SOTP for those attending ....

[belzeebob23]

Looks like me and goatboy will be heading up on saturday as poor me working first thing.
just a quick question for those how have been before can I get a long wheeled sprinter into the site? If so I can bring a palet of wood from work

[Grooveski]

Yeah, no bother. There's a wee staircase down to the site from the parking area but you'll have many hands helping you unload.

 

[MagiKelly]

Permits to fish from the banks can be bought from David Marshal lodge at Aberfoyle.

Fishing from canoes / boats is controlled by the hotel i think.

Looks like I will probably be up during the day on Sat but not overnight at all.

 

[Doc]

I'm planning to be there, but probably just Sunday the way things are going.

 

[Soloman]

Im going through a bad patch of meniere's at the mo so fingers crossed,I hope to get there on sat morning if only to drop some barrels off to some canoe folk.
