Fishery Update at 26 August 2010

As a result of various travelling commitment and holidays, this is the first update for 6 weeks! Quite a lot has happened during that time, with some big fish caught, a further two heats of the Dunlichity Cup and the Fishery joining the Salmon and Trout Association (see previous blogs). Other highlights include:

Fishery Conditions and Stocking
A dry period followed by a lot of wet and windy weather has provided a lot of varied fishing conditions. Generally, anglers have had to work hard for their fish - this seems to be a common theme across all of the fisheries in the area. At Dunlichity, everyone has been seeing fish in abundance!
There has been two stockings during the period - 190 fish on 14 July and 110 fish on 4 August. Because the Fishery had been quite lightly fished after the first stocking, we decided to put fewer larger fish in for the second stocking. As a consequence, the average weight of fish that went in at the second stocking was 5lbs!

Catches
During this period, the number of fish caught during their various visits for the following anglers were:
Ron Maslin - 68
Sean Cowan - 35
Bill Grieg - 33
Denis Strange - 28
S. Richie - 22
John Vickers - 18
Darren Mackay - 15
T. Lochhead - 15
George Skinner - 14
Mike Marshall - 14
George Swanson - 14

Big Fish
In addition to the big fish that have been taken and are on the Troutmaster board, many others were caught and returned. These included:
S. Nicol - 5lbs
Louis Andreas - 7 1/2 lbs
Andy Jarvis - 8lbs
John Vickers - 7lbs
Robert Anthony - 5lbs

Successful Flies
According to the Catch Register, the following flies were successful:
"Dries" - 36
"Buzzers" - 27
CDC's - 13
Damsels - 11
Daddies - 10
Various Fritz - 9
Diawl Bach - 9
Yellow Dancer - 7
WSW - 5
Klinkhammer - 6
Black Flash - 4
"Nymph" - 4
Sedge - 4
Black Spiders - 4
Others with more than one entry include Kate McLaren, Montana, Tadpole, Damsel, Hares Ear, Olive Dawson, Cat's Whisker, Okie Dokie, and Ace of Spades.

Forthcoming Events
The current Troutmaster month began on 21 August and there are already 4 names on the board. There is still lots of time to post a "big fish".
We will be carrying out another stocking over the next week or so.
The next heat of the Dunlichity Cup will be on Saturday 11 September.

Dunlichity Cup Heat 4 - 14 August

Although holidays prevented a few of the regular competitors from attending, some new faces joined the competition including Robert Anthony, Richard Franklin, Gary Patience and Martin Schouten. Robin Scott's absence meant that his place at the top of the leaderboard was vulnerable!

In keeping with the last few weeks, fishing was hard and competitors had to work for their fish. That said, some good fish were caught, with George Swanson's 7lb 8oz, George Skinner's 6lb 7oz and James Watson's 5lb 10oz being the pick of the bunch.
George Swanson's 7lb 8oz fish

The heat was won by George Skinner, with a bag of 8lb 14oz. Second was George Swanson (7lb 8oz) and third was James Watson (7lb 0oz). Richard Franklin won the largest fish prize.
In terms of the overall Cup, David Skinner has taken over first place with Robin Scott dropping to second. The full current placings are as follows:
