The fish off between the 2018 Dunlichity Troutmaster Badge winners was won by 2016 winner Dean Geddes.
Dean took two of his three fish during the first peg and completed his 9lb 4oz bag during the fourth peg.
Although a lot of fish were caught during the day, only three competitors took their three fish bag, with Graham Matheson in second place (7lb 6oz) and Ian Young third (6lb 2oz).
Dean received a trophy, certificate, £100 prize and a £100 contribution towards travelling to the Finals later in the year. Graham Matheson received a trophy and £50, with Ian Young, Jamie MacGregor Snr, David Skinner and Neil Pirrie each receiving fishery vouchers.

Graham Matheson continued his good recent form with a bag of 8lb 13oz, which included the biggest fish of the day at 6lb 12oz. George Ritchie was second, Neil Pirrie third and the bottle went to Matt Thompson.
The eighth and final heat of the 2018 Dunlichity Cup is on Saturday 3 November at 09.00.

With only one heat left, Jamie MacGregor Snr remains in a commanding position at the head of the leader board on 48 points, followed by Graham Matheson (42 points), Gordon Haggart (39 points) and George Ritchie (38 points). The 2018 winner will come from one of these four. However, annual prizes go down to 7th place, so anyone of eleven competitors could take home a prize.

2017 Dunlichity Cup Heat 7 - Saturday 7 October
With only two heats left, the competition for final league places was hotting up!
The two current leaders, Gordon Haggart and George Ritchie both took their fish early on, with both finishing before three pegs were completed. Third placed George Skinner failed to close in on the two leaders, whilst last year's winner, Liam Skinner continued his good form by winning his second heat on the trot.
In second place was David Skinner with George Haggart third. Jamie Macgregor Snr won the bottle.
Gordon Haggart goes into the final heat with a three point lead over George Ritchie, with George Skinner third. The 2017 winner will come from the three leaders, but eleven competitors could still win one of the seven end-of-season prizes.

2017 Dunlichity Cup Heat 6 - Saturday 2 September
With only three heats left in this year's competition, leader George Skinner's absence gave others an opportunity to close the gap at the top of the leader board.
There was lots of action on hte first peg, with 25 fish being caught. Only three were taken, and a number of competitors were left ruing their decision not to take at least one fish early on.
Darren Skinner had to leave after the fourth peg, and left leading with two fish at 4lb 8oz. The lead only lasted to the fifth peg, when eventual winner Liam Skinner took his second fish for a bag of 5lb 9oz. Graham Matheson took third place with 3lb 14oz, and Ian Young took the bottle for the biggest fish outside of the top three.
After the sixth heat, we have join leaders at the top - George Ritchie and Gordon Haggart, closely followed by George Skinner one point behind. Any one of nine competitors could still win with two heats to go, and this is the first time that going into the penultimate heat, we know that nobody can win the Cup until the last heat.
The seventh heat is on Saturday 7 October at 09.00.

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.
