Fishery Update - Sunday 23 February

As a result of the mild weather, we have restocked the fishery this week, the first time that we have stocked in February in the seven years that we have been here.  Good bags have been caught in the past few days, with Magnus MacDonald and George Skinner being particularly successful.

The steady rain that we have had over the past 48 hours have left the banks quite wet and slippery - take care when walking around the lochans.

The electric sockets have been fixed in the Bothy, so the kettle and microwave are back in use.

David Skinner wins 2013 Dunlichity Cup

2013 Dunlichity Cup Winner David Skinner

After a tense final heat, David Skinner secured enough points to take the 2013 Dunlichity Cup. Ever present and former winner David beat son and also previous winner Liam by five points (how costly was Liam's trip to Alton Towers earlier in the season?).
David was a deserved winner, with two first places and two second places. James Gray, George Skinner and James Watson also deserve credit for keeping the pressure on the two leaders throughout the season.

Some statistics for the year:
  • 27 anglers competed throughout the season.
  • Over 362lbs of fish were taken.
  • In excess of £1200 was awarded in prizes.

The final heat was a proved to be very tight with six 4lb+ fish being caught. First place was taken by Graham Matheson with a two fish bag of 8lb 15ozs (including the biggest fish of the day at 6lb 12oz). Second was George Skinner and third was Liam Skinner. Michael Kerr won the bottle for the biggest fish outside of the top 3 (5lb 9oz).
