Fishery Operational Arrangements - Covid-19
06:15 | 
Posted by
Mike Fitzgerald
Following the Scottish Government's announcement dated 28 May 2020 relaxing some Lockdown restrictions, Dunlichity Trout Fishery will reopen with effect from Friday 29 May.
We take the ongoing situation regarding Covid-19 very seriously and we would like all our visitors to do the same.
We consider the risk to anglers to be minimal once they are out fishing. However, there are precautions that we will all need to take:
- Please do not bring children or non-fishing guests to the Fishery with you. The Fishery is restricted to anglers only.
- The Bothy will be closed until further notice. The toilet is also currently unavailable whilst essential repairs are carried out to the Bothy. The outside sink is also unavailable.
- Do not share fishing equipment. It is also advisable to bring something with you to place on the peg seats. During this time, there will be no rental equipment available.
- For safety reasons, we have ceased the provision of complimentary tea, coffee and juices. Please bring your own refreshments with you.
- Please do not visit the Fishery if you have any of the symptoms associated with Covid-19 - stay at home until you are well.
- We do not have facilities for cashless payments, so we would be grateful if you could bring the correct money with you. Familiarise yourself with the revised ticket prices. A link to the prices is at the bottom of this page.
- We are not introducing a booking system and fishing will be on a first come, first served basis. We are limiting the number of anglers on the Lochans at any time to a maximum of 25. Please be aware in the unlikely situation where we have people waiting to fish, we will be more diligent in enforcing ticket start and finish times.
- Use the Fishery Car Park. If it becomes too congested to appropriately conduct self-distancing, then feel free to park at the House.
- Please respect distancing on the banks ("2 metre personal exclusion zone").

We sincerely believe that fly fishing can continue to operate safely providing everyone shows common sense and follows the basic guidelines outlined above. We reserve the right to refuse entry to anyone who does not respect our arrangements.
We appreciate that this is an unprecedented situation and that for the coming period our lives will be disrupted but please be sensible, respect others and enjoy fly fishing at Dunlichity safely.

2019 Dunlichity Cup Heat 6
Conditions for Heat 6 of this year's Dunlichity Cup were far more favourable than Heat 5, and Gordon Haggart quickly caught the biggest fish of the day on Peg 1 before going on to win the heat with a two fish bag at 5lb 4oz.
Graham Matheson caught 18 fish during the heat and finished second with 4lb 15oz. Jimmy Cooper was third and Neil Pirrie took the bottle for the biggest fish outside of the top 3.
Seven points by virtue of two fish in the last two pegs keep Jamie MacGregor Snr out front at the top of the leader board, with Gordon Haggart closing the gap to ten points. With two heats left, any one of six can still win this year's Dunlichity Cup, but Jamie is the only one who can clinch victory in Heat 7.
Heat 7 of this year's Dunlichity Cup is on Saturday 12 October at 09.00.

Fishery Reopens - Wednesday 8 January
Although the banks are quite wet due to the overnight rain, all of the ice has now gone, so we have reopened the fishery.
Normally at this time of year, we have twelve inches of ice on the lochans! Given the mild winter that we have had so far, it is a case of us reviewing the fishery status on a daily basis. However, the lochans are fishing well and it is a good time to get a Troutmaster badge!
If you are unsure as to whether we are open or not, then either check the blog or give us a call on 01808 521442.

2012 Dunlichity Cup Heat 5
14 competitors arrived on a bright Saturday morning. Three new competitors joined the group - Darren Skinner, Dave Longmuir and Michael Kerr.
In spite of the early bright conditions, three competitors had taken their two fish bag before the break. The heat winner was James Gray, with a bag of 6lb 12oz. Newcomer Dave Longmuir was second with 6lb 4oz and third was Graham Matheson with 5lb 4oz. Darren Skinner won the bottle on countback from Magnus Macdonald.
In terms of the overall league positions, Bill Greig's absence due to work commitments meant Colin Keith consolidated his position at the top of the leaderboard. Big movers were James Gray (up 5 places) and Graham Matheson (up 9 places).
The next heat is on Saturday 6th October.
