Next Meeting Tuesday 9th September 2008

Summer News Letter now available from here

Bank Clearance weekend of 29th June- Sunday morning 11am. Lovely turn-out on what was forecast to be a wet day! Some hard work has resulted in Beats 1 to 3 being cleared, strimmed and branches lopped to aid our techniques. Many thanks to all those who gave up a Sunday morning.
Achagour Senior Competition - congratulations to John Gunn with a 33/4 lb fish.

On our own water it appear Archie Prentice has caught the first fish at 81/2 lbs on Beat 2 at the beginning of June. Well Done! Also, Mike Macdonald has caught one this week(end of June) around 11 lb!

		Meeting Minutes: Due to a change in the opening hours of the Beauly British Legion, we are having to change the dates of our committee meetings. Please check at the bottom of this page for the amended dates. The Priory Centre will now be selling the day tickets and have the exchange tickets for members. A syndicate has been formed to put a boat on the Ness. There will be a concessionary price for members of the Beauly Angling Club. Further details, maps and locations will be published on these pages but a boat and engine will be made available to 3 persons, all that will need to be provided is petrol and life jackets. June is usually the best time for brown trout in the Ness. Many members have received their News Letter by e-mail. If you have e-mail, please add yours when you pick up your permit or mail us with the e-mail link on the left.

There is a new Fishing Bill coming out soon. For all the information you could wish for, try this link:

Opening Day on the River Beauly

The River Beauly's running high
And also very fast
We stand upon the banks once more
Waiting for a cast
But first of all a dram or two
A few words softly spoken
A toast to the river, tight lines to all
Our season is now open

John Szarkiewicz with Commemoration Certificate for work on behalf of the club over 34 years

OPENING DAY 11am 11th February Beat 1

The weather was chilly but an excellent turnout arrived for the usual toasts, sausage rolls and mince pies. No fishing of course - it is Sunday! We also had a small presentation to 2 of the winners of the Junior Competition in the Newsletter over Christmas. Congratulations to (and in no particular order) Matthew McHardy, Christie Maclean and Lucy & Russell Dobson ( who regrettably could not be with us) They received boxes of flies for Trout and Salmon. There are more pictures to be seen by clicking on the photograph below taken by John Szarkiewicz
