Dunlichity Cup 2015 Heat 4 - Saturday 4 July
Whilst 4th July means fireworks in USA, anyone expecting fireworks in the 4th heat of the Dunlichity Cup were in for a disappointment!
Having carried out a full stocking the day before, it would have been fair to assume that a lot of fish would be caught. This was not the case, and we were all left scratching our heads as to the reasons for the poor returns (more about this later).
One person who was not worried was overall leader Liam Skinner, who, with the largest fish of the day, secured another ten points. Second place went to Tim Watson (the only competitor to take two fish) with James Gray in third place. Jamie Macgregor Jnr had the largest fish outside of the top three.

After the competition, Graham Matheson (who had blanked) stayed on and caught 5. The following morning, Dean Geddes caught 10, including an 8lb 2oz fish. In subsequent days, we have had 8 or 9 double figure catches. One of the fish caught during the competition was spooned to see if it was tadpole gorging that had caused the hard fishing conditions, but it only contained midge pupa. So, it is still a mystery (I still think air pressure!).

Dunlichity Cup 2015 Heat 3 - Saturday 6 June
The third heat of the 2015 Dunlichity Cup was held on Saturday 6 June. The heat attracted a record 21 competitors.
Going was hard and large fish were hard to come by. Leader after two heats, Liam Skinner had to leave after peg 4 so the pressure was on. He didn't disappoint, with the largest fish of the day (4lb 7oz) on his last cast on peg 4! He left with everyone chasing his two fish total of 6lb 4oz.
Second place went to Ian Young, with a two fish bag of 6lb 0oz, with Jamie Macgregor Snr taking third place with 4lb 1oz. Newcomer Alan Dallas won the bottle for the largest fish outside of the top three.
Two firsts and a second place put Liam out in front with 29 points after three heats, with Jamie Macgregor Snr second with 24 points.
The next heat of the Dunlichity Cup is on Saturday 4 July at 09.00.
