why do people complain about the state of the River banks and leave such a mess like this for other people to clear up

Disgraceful

The committee are annoyed at having to mention this again.

IF CAUGHT ONE WARING WILL BE GIVEN,IF CAUGHT AGAIN YOUR PERMIT WILL BE CONFISCATED AND YOU WILL BE ASKED TO THE NEXT COMMITTEE MEETING TO EXPLAIN WHY YOU WERE IN CONTRAVENTION OF THE RULES WHICH WAS SIGNED BY YOU ON THE APPLICATION FOR A PERMIT.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED .

We recently had a Survey up and one question on it was ” In general how do you think the fishing’s could be improved ”

90% of the comments were, to get more River Management work done .

Since then we have published 3 work party dates the latest only a couple of weeks ago,with only the River manager turning up for that one.

As it has been said here numerous times there is over eight miles of river to try and keep on top of and with only a small amount on the RM team its a task and a half.

Every time we publish a work party our members are asked to support the guys and give them a hand with no response.

It dose look as if some people would rather complain than muck in and give the guys a hand.

Now is your chance.

A work party has been scheduled for Sunday 30th July 10 o’clock at the weir.

Once again we need your help.

MCAA committee.

Would all members please note ,If you are fishing at the Bridge Pool and have a walk up to see the fish going up the fish pass could you please dismantle you rod or at least take your fly or lure off and wind in your line or even better leave your rod at the Bridge as this will make things a lot easier for the bailiffs .

Thanks

We would like to inform all our members that All MCAA bailiffs carry an identification card with their picture on it which they should show you when on their patrols.If you are approached by someone claiming to be a bailiff and dose not show you his card please get ( if you can ) his name and send the association an email stating his name and or description and where you were approached.

Scottish Minister Appointed Bailiffs will show you his warrant card.

Thanks.

The on line application form questionnaire has now been taken down,it was disappointing that we only had nineteen members responding and submitting the questionnaire back to the association,we will now have a look to see if this is going to be worth while going ahead with it or not.

Thanks to the members who responded.

Well done Peter.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

We are holding a casting day on Sunday 25th June at 12 noon at Grayfriars .

Please come along and meet some of the guys and have a play about with different rods and lines, you can also bring you own gear as there will be plenty of help if you have problems you have with your casting.

Hope to see you there.

There is a clean up scheduled for Sunday 2nd July 10 o’clock at the weir.

Bongo and Big Rab were been out with the strimmers at Grayfriars and spent five hours working at cutting paths.

Once again we are asking for your help and showing your support by lending a hand with the work at the weir.

Thanks.

Well done to Rab.

That’s another fish caught today

Well done to Barry McGuigan

Barry also got the fish of the week in the Daily Record on Friday.

Well done for that also.

Due to unforeseen circumstances the draw for the raffle had to be cancelled,it will now take place on 11th June.

Prizes and winners will be published here soon after that date.

We are looking into the option of online application forms.

Please add yes or no to the form HERE,we need to know how many members would use this option to find out if it would be viable as it will take a bit of work getting the forms ready .

Payment would be made through PayPay and a photograph would need to be uploaded before submission of the form to us.

Postal applications will still be available.

Thanks.
