Dunlichity Cup Heat 4 - Saturday 14 July

On a day when the competitors welcomed back regular visitor, Dennis Strange from Barrow-on Furness, the day's competition was all about tactics!  Although over 50 fish were caught, only 14 fish were taken as competitors held back waiting for "the big one"!  A number of people ended up "blanking" after having caught fish.

Ian Young's tactic of tacking early fish proved successful with two early fish weighing in at a total of 7lb 2oz, a weight which was not bettered.  Magnus MacDonald came second with 4lb 5oz and Liam Skinner came third with 3lb 15oz (including a fish in the last minute of the last peg!).  The bottle went to Dennis Strange with a fish of 3lb 7oz.

In terms of the league, Colin Keith increased his lead at the top after Bill Greig's noble efforts to join the competition after the first peg due to work commitments failed to bear fruit!  Big movers were Ian Young and Magnus MacDonald.

The next heat of the Dunlichity Cup is on Saturday 4 August.
