Dunlichity Cup Heat 4 - Saturday 13 July

As the rain hits the window, it is difficult to picture the conditions which faced competitors when they arrived for Heat 4 of the 2013 Dunlichity Cup! Heat, clear skies and lochans that were at record low water levels.
We anticipated that the general conditions, coupled with the low oxygen levels would mean that fishing would be tough. How right we were!
Throughout the heat, 16 anglers only managed to take 9 fish. All agreed that the fish were there but were simply not interested. Heat 3 winner Darren Skinner probably had the best idea, leaving early empty-handed to tend the Scottish Open greens at Castle Stuart!
The fish that were caught, however meant that some new names were amongst the winners, with Garry Patience winning with 5lb 14 oz, and Neil Pirrie third with 3lb 4oz. In second place was 2011 Champion Liam Skinner. The bottle went to James Gray.
Liam's second place moved him to the top of the overall standings, with other big movers including Garry, Neil, and James.
The next heat is on Saturday 9 August at 09.00
