Dunlichity Cup Resumes Saturday 12 September

After numerous requests, we have decided to resume the Dunlichity Cup competition.

This year, the Dunlichity Cup will consist of five heats, held every fortnight.  The format will remain the same (any two fish), but there will be some changes:

  • 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.
  • Fishery prices have risen this year, but as no food is now being provided, we will keep the competition price at £27.
  • Prizes will be a third of the entry fees taken, up to a maximum pot of £120.  Pot will be shared half to the winner, a third to the runner up and a sixth to the third place.
  • The overall Competition winner will receive £50, the Cup and a personal trophy at the end of the season.  Second place will receive £25 and a personal trophy.
The dates for the heats are as follows:

Heat 1 - Saturday 12 September
Heat 2 - Saturday 26 September
Heat 3 - Saturday 10 October 
Heat 4 - Saturday 24 October
Heat 5 - Saturday 7 November

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!).
Lets hope conditions improve for Heat 5, which will be on Saturday 1 August.

In fourth place was Heat 8 winner Jamie MacGregor Snr with 36 points.  His record of three wins and a fourth place in four appearances makes him one to watch for this season.  In the final heat, George Skinner was second, Aeneas Taylor third and Steve Junor won the bottle for the largest fish outside of the top three.
