2021 Dunlichity Cup

The 2021 Dunlichity Cup dates have now been set.

We have held back on announcing the dates to enable as many people who may compete to have received their Covid vaccinations.  The dates are:

Heat 1 -     Saturday 26 June
Heat 2 -     Saturday 17 July
Heat 3 -     Saturday 7 August
Heat 4 -     Saturday 28 August
Heat 5 -     Saturday 18 September
Heat 6 -     Saturday 16 October
Heat 7 -     Saturday 30 October
Heat 8 -     Saturday 13 November

The format and rules will be similar last year:

  • Timings will be the same but there will be no lunch provided so competitors will need to bring their own food.
  • The draw for pegs and all movements around the lochans will be conducted in accordance with our Covid-19 arrangements.
  • The competition price will remain at £27.
  • Prizes will be £60 for the winner, £40 for second place and £20 for third place.
  • The overall Competition winner will receive £100, the Cup and a personal trophy at the end of the season.  Second place will receive £50 and a personal trophy and fishery vouchers will be awarded to the next 5 competitors. This is an increase in the prizes over last year and goes back to pre-Covid levels.

  • Jamie MacGregor Snr is the current Dunlichity Cup holder, having won the last three years. He and Liam Skinner have won the Cup three times, and David Skinner has won it twice. Who will get their name on the Cup this year?

    Anyone who has not entered the competition before and is interested in competing will be more than welcome.  If you need anymore information about the Dunlichity Cup, please get in touch.

    2016 Dunlichity Cup Final Places

    After a hard fought season, the final positions in the 2016 Dunlichity Cup were decided at the November heat.  Three competitors (Liam Skinner, Jamie Macgregor Snr and Tim Watson) were in a position to win the overall competition.

    The final heat was dominated by Gordon Haggart, who finished in first place with a bag of 7lb 2oz.  Neil Pirrie was in second place with 6lb 7oz and Jamie Macgregor Snr and John Allison shared third place with 5lb 9oz each (Jamie took third on countback).  David Skinner took the bottle for a fish of 4lb 13oz.

    The results of the last heat meant that 6th place and 5 points were enough for reigning champion, Liam Skinner to retain his title from Jamie Macgregor Snr, with Tim Watson a creditable third.

    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.

    Dunlichity Cup Heat 5 - Saturday 9 August

    Only ten competitors turned up for what proved to be the most successful heat of this year's competition so far.

    Martin Haberfield chose to take his first two fish and was finished before the end of the first peg.  Indeed, everyone had taken their first fish by the end of the second peg, and four had finished after peg 3.

    Liam Skinner had to leave at 11.30 due to other commitments, and in true Liam fashion, caught his second fish at 11.29!

    First place went to John Allison who was competing for the first time this year, with a bag of 6lb 14oz.  This just pipped Graham Matheson into second place by one ounce, with James Gray third.  The bottle went to James Watson.

    Things are hotting up in the overall competition, with Graham Matheson joining George Skinner at the top of the leaderboard with 25 points. With three heats left, there is everything to play for!
    The next heat is on Saturday 6 September at 09.00.

    Dunlichity Cup Heat 3 Results

    17 anglers competed for the third heat of the Dunlichity Cup at Dunlichity Trout Fishery. Conditions were bright and blustery and temperatures rose throughout the day.

    George Skinner and Graham Matheson set the early pace, taking their two fish bags within the first two pegs at 6lb 8oz and 6lb 4oz respectively.

    George Swanson's 5lb 1oz rainbow was the biggest fish taken but the eventual winner was Jamie MacGregor from Munlochy, with a bag of 8lb.  Aeneas Taylor was second with 7lb 9oz and George Skinner was third.

    Magnus Macdonald still leads the overall Dunlichity Cup rankings with 17 points, one point ahead of George Skinner and two points ahead of Graham Matheson.
     

    The next heat is on Saturday 5 July at 9am.

    Dunlichity Cup Heat 7 - Saturday 5 October

    11 competitors arrived for the penultimate heat of the 2013 Dunlichity Cup.  Some noticable absentees at the top of the leaderboard meant that middle-ranked competitors had an opportunity to make up ground.

    James Gray took the honours with a bag of 7lb 14oz, over 3lbs higher than second placed David Skinner.  Graham Matheson was third and Neil Pirrie won the bottle for the biggest fish outside of the top 3.


    These results mean that David Skinner is now strong favourite to lift the trophy for the second time.  Only Liam Skinner can also take first place.  However, 5 competitors can take second place.


    The final heat of the 2013 Dunlichity Cup is on Saturday 2 November.

    Dunlichity Cup Heats 5 and 6

    As a result of a busy time at the house, we are combining the last two heat reports:

    Heat 5 - Saturday 10 August

    We had not originally intended to hold a competition in August, but as a result of a request from the July competitors, we convened an extra heat.  13 anglers arrived for what turned out to be an interesting heat.  A lot of fish were caught during the day, but pride of place went to David Skinner with a bag of 10lb 5oz, which included a 7lb 14oz rainbow.  Second was Tim Watson with a bag of 6lb 3oz (including a 4lb 4oz rainbow) and third was Neil Pirrie with a 4lb 8oz bag.  George Skinner won the bottle.

    Tim Watson, George Skinner, Magnus MacDonald and David Skinner

    Special mention to Michael Kerr, whose perseverance led to him putting his first points on the board (6).  The result moved David Skinner up to third place in the league, with Liam Skinner and James Watson both falling back after scoring nil and 1 point respectively.  George Skinner moved into first place.

    Heat 6 - Saturday 7 September

    A number of absentees meant that only 8 anglers competed for reduced prizes.  It also mean a fish of any weight would guarantee at least 3 points.  In the end, three competitors blanked!

    There were 4 5lb+ bags and a tie at the top of the points board, with Liam and David Skinner both landing bags of 5lb 15oz.  Both got 10 points but Liam was awarded first prize on countback.  Magnus MacDonald was third with 5lb 3oz.
     
    George Skinner's absence allowed Liam and David Skinner to both leapfrog him, with James Watson moving up to equal third place.  The other big mover was Magnus MacDonald.  With two heats to go, 8 anglers could still claim first place.
      
     

    The next heat is on Saturday 5 October.

    Dunlichity Cup Heat 2 - Saturday 4 May

    16 anglers braved the elements to compete in the second round of the 2013 Dunlichity Cup.  In spite of showers and windy conditions, many of the competitors caught and released fish on the hope that the "big one" was waiting for them.

    There were good performances from David Skinner, James Watson and George Swanson, but the winner for the second heat in a row was George Skinner, with a bag of 7lb 15oz.

    David Skinner was second, with James Watson third.  George Swanson won the bottle for the largest fish outside of the top three.



    The win consolidated George Skinner's place at the head of the league, with everything still to play for!


    The third round of the Dunlichity Cup is on Saturday 8 June.
