A record 21 competitors turned up for the fourth heat of the 2014 Dunlichity Cup.  Newcomers included Ryan Campbell, Gavin Mackie, Jordan Grant and Gordon Haggart.

The bright conditions resulted in a lot of fish being seen but fewer being landed!  The first two pegs saw many fish being hooked but getting off before they could be netted.

James Watson led the way with a nice 5lb 2oz fish, with Jamie MacGregor following up with a 4lb 9oz fish.  James' fish was the biggest fish of the day.

As the pegs progressed, it became apparent that anyone taking two fish were likely to be in the running for the prizes.  So it proved, with Martin Haberfield winning with two fish to 6lb 3oz, with George Skinner second (5lb 9oz) and Ian Young third (5lb 5oz).  A number of competitors regretted putting fish back earlier in the day!

Special mention for debutant Jordan Grant, who caught a nice 4lb 4oz fish in the last ten minutes of the last peg, courtesy of a fly donated by Ian Young.

After four heats, George Skinner has moved to the head of the leaderboard, with Martin Haberfield second.  Eight anglers are within ten points of the top spot.

Please note that next month's heat is on the second Saturday of the month, 9th August.

16 anglers competed in the second heat in this year's Dunlichity Cup.

With the heat being held towards the end of a stocking period, it was inevitable that it would be a challenge to catch large bags.  Competitors were warned to "return fish at their peril"!  The advice was sound, with only 4 competitors taking a two fish bag. 
Ian Young won the heat with a single fish - a lovely 8lb 9oz rainbow. Second was Magnus Macdonald and third was James Gray.  David Skinner won the bottle for the biggest fish outside of the top three.

Magnus Macdonald heads the league table after two heats, with two top three places.  He is followed by James Gray and the first two heat winners, Robert Anthony and Ian Young.


The next heat is on Saturday 7 June.
