Dunlichity Cup Heat 3 Results
It's quite ironic, sitting here in the scorching heat waiting for rain to lift the Lochan levels, to report that the last heat of the Dunlichity Cup was affected by electrical storms!
Nearby thunder led us to take an early lunch after three pegs in the hope that the electrical activity would quickly pass. Unfortunately, the continued threat of lightning meant that the afternoon session was not able to commence until 14.00 and consisted of three 30 minute pegs.
The conditions were not great and fish were at a premium. Leader Jamie Macgregor Snr extended his unbeaten run to 4 matches, with Graham Matheson taking second place with Ian Young third. James Gray won the bottle.
Jamie leads after three heats, with James Gray second and last year's winner Gordon Haggart in third.
The next heat is on Saturday 7 July at 09.00.

2017 Dunlichity Cup Heat 1
The 2017 Dunlichity Cup got underway in April. Wet conditions meant that the heat took place a week later than normal, and as a result, a number of regular competitors were otherwise engaged. Last year's top three were missing, giving others the chance to set the early pace.
Everyone caught fish and all but two of the fish taken were 3lbs or above.
George Ritchie, who was forth last year, took the honours with 7lb 5 oz. Gordon Haggart and Scott Fraser were joint second, with Gordon taking the second prize on countback. James Watson took the bottle.
Everything to play for!

Dunlichity Cup 2015 - Heat 5 Results
It was a case of deciding winners after a number of equal scores in the 5th heat of the 2015 Dunlichity Cup.
In order to encourage competitors to keep trying to the end, we have always used the last person to catch a fish as the winner when two scores are tied. The ruling was used twice in Heat 5.
George Skinner set a blistering pace by taking both of his fish in the first 8 minutes of Peg 1. His total weight of 7lb 14oz was looking good until Aeneas Taylor matched it with his second fish taken in Peg 4. Aeneas took first place but both he and George gained 10 points. Jamie Macgregor Snr was 3rd with 5lb 4oz.
The "tied" ruling was also used to decide the bottle, with Liam Skinner and David Skinner catching equally weighted fish. David won the bottle as he caught his fish in Peg 4 whist Liam caught his in Peg 2!
Liam Skinner's 6 points kept him well out in front of the overall leader board. Jamie Macgregor Snr is second, but with 3 heats left, only 3 people can overtake Liam.
The next heat of the Dunlichity Cup is on Saturday 5 September.

Fishery Update - Saturday 30 March
In common with the last few days, the lochans were both frozen at 08.00 but have started to thaw. At 10.30, half of the top Lochan has thawed and we anticipate that enough of the top Lochan will be clear for some fishing to be possible by midday. Consequently, we will open the gates at 11.30.
A heavy frost is forecast for tonight, and given that the clocks go forward tonight, it is likely that no fishing will be possible tomorrow morning, and possibly later into the day. We will give a further update at 11.00 tomorrow morning.
