The opening ceremony took place on Monday 11th February, with a bright and surprisingly mild day encouraging a good turn-out of members.
Association President Tony Watts welcomed the good turn-out of members before inviting the Audrey McIntosh and Linda Nicol to jointly undertake the honour of officially opening the season this year and blessing the river with the pouring of the obligatory dram into the river.
The association would like to thank Benromach Distillery for sponsoring the event and Audrey and Bill for the catering and also Scott Burgess for piping on the day.
Unfortunately the fish were not in an obliging mood, so the wait for a fresh fish goes on, but hopefully it won’t be too long before I am able to report the first fish of the season.
