Dunlichity Cup Heat 7 Results
Fishing conditions remained good for the 7th heat of this year's Dunlichity Cup.
Jim Dick set the pace with a 2lb 13oz fish in the first peg, but as we reach the end of this year's competition, tactics began to play a bigger role in the contest. with only four anglers taking their two fish.
Jim eventually took first place, with Denis Howell second and Jamie MacGregor Junior just edging out Jamie MacGregor Senior by one ounce for third place!

Dunlichity Cup Heat 5 Results
There was another great turnout for the fifth heat of this year's Dunlichity Cup, with 17 anglers competing. It was also an opportunity to welcome back James Gray, 2014 Dunlichity Cup winner after a few years away.
A lot of fish were caught and taken in the first Peg, and the morning session continued to produce good catch numbers. A few continued to return fish and ended up not getting their full bag!
Jimmy Cooper continued his fine spell of form, winning his second heat in succession, with a bag of 4lb 2oz. Jamie MacGregor Snr continued his return to form with second place (4lb) with Jim Dick in third (3lb 13oz).

The chance of catching a "champagne fish" changed a number of competitors tactics, with a number of 2lb+ fish being returned during the early stages of the heat.
Liam Skinner's 2lb 12oz fish was the largest on the day. Unfortunately, he was not able to add another fish to his bag, but because there were 18 anglers in the heat, he won the bottle.
Winner of the heat was Jimmy Cooper (3lb 14oz), followed by Graham Matheson (3lb 10oz) and Denis Howell (3lb 9oz).
Liam Skinner, Graham Matheson, Denis Howell and Jimmy Cooper
In terms of the overall competition, Graham Matheson moved into first place with 28 points, followed by Denis Howell and Jimmy Cooper on 25 points. With 4 heats left, anyone could still win this year's cup.

Although the lochans had been recently stocked, the very warm weather coupled with a lack of oxygen in the water meant that the fish were not giving themselves up and had to be worked for!

After two heats, the league is wide open, with Gordon Haggart and Neil Pirrie sharing top place, and with 11 competitors with 7 points of each other. Everything to play for!

Rental Equipment
We have had a number of enquiries recently regarding rental equipment. On 22 March 2020, we posted the latest update regarding regulations at the Fishery following the outbreak of Covid. One of the changes was to suspend renting out equipment. That, and the other Covid related measures remain in place, but we hope to update our rules following the next relaxation of restrictions in August. Any update will appear on the Blog.

2021 Dunlichity Cup Heat 1 Results
After all that has gone on in the world over recent months, it was a pleasure to welcome 14 competitors to the first heat of this year's Dunlichity Cup. Whilst some Covid measures remain in place, seeing so many familiar faces brought a sense that normality is slowly being restored!
Although recently stocked, fishing was hard during the day, with an abundance of tadpoles and fly hatches resulted in the midges biting more than the fish!
Martin Krop did catch 6 at one peg, but that was the exception as catch numbers were low, and many of those who did manage to hook found that they had a Brown on the line and had to return!
Nine competitors did, however score points, with last year's Champion, Jamie MacGregor Snr scoring 10 points with a bag of 4lb 8oz, closely followed by Jimmy Cooper on 9 points with a bag of 4lb 5oz.
