Posted by
Mike Fitzgerald
Fishing conditions remained good for the 7th heat of this year's Dunlichity Cup.
Jim Dick set the pace with a 2lb 13oz fish in the first peg, but as we reach the end of this year's competition, tactics began to play a bigger role in the contest. with only four anglers taking their two fish.
Jim eventually took first place, with Denis Howell second and Jamie MacGregor Junior just edging out Jamie MacGregor Senior by one ounce for third place!

Jamie MacGregor Senior remains at the top of the Leader board, with Denis Howell now second and Graham Matheson and Jimmy Cooper tied for third.
The eighth and final heat of this year's competition is on Saturday 13 November at 09.00. With any one of four can still win the Cup and with prizes for lower placed competitors, there is still everything to play for!

2021 Dunlichity Cup Heat 1 Results
After all that has gone on in the world over recent months, it was a pleasure to welcome 14 competitors to the first heat of this year's Dunlichity Cup. Whilst some Covid measures remain in place, seeing so many familiar faces brought a sense that normality is slowly being restored!
Although recently stocked, fishing was hard during the day, with an abundance of tadpoles and fly hatches resulted in the midges biting more than the fish!
Martin Krop did catch 6 at one peg, but that was the exception as catch numbers were low, and many of those who did manage to hook found that they had a Brown on the line and had to return!
Nine competitors did, however score points, with last year's Champion, Jamie MacGregor Snr scoring 10 points with a bag of 4lb 8oz, closely followed by Jimmy Cooper on 9 points with a bag of 4lb 5oz.

The second heat of the Dunlichity Cup will be on Saturday 17 July.

Dunlichity Cup Heat 6 Results
As a result of holidays and other commitments, only eight competitors arrived for Heat 6. Although this was below the minimum number, we decided to go ahead with the heat but with reduced prizes.
James Watson went into an early lead, taking both fish (3lb and 2lb 13oz) in the first peg. James Gray caught the biggest fish of the day in peg 2, and David Skinner took his bag (3lb 5oz and 3lb 5oz) by the end of peg 3.
Martin Haberfield kept up his record of having scored points in every heat with a fish in the third peg.
The heat was, however won by Neil Pirrie, who with two fish in peg 6 (3lb 6oz and 3lb 9oz) beat James Gray by a single ounce!
The overall competition is hotting up, with James Gray going into a one point lead over Graham Matheson. At least ten anglers have a realistic chance of winning the Cup over the final two heats.
The penultimate heat of the 2014 Dunlichity Cup is on Saturday 4 October at 09.00.

Dunlichity Cup Heat 4 Results
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.
