2019 Dunlichity Cup Heat 4

Conditions were good for the 4th heat of this year's Dunlichity Cup, and the heat got off to a flying start with fish of 5lb, 3lb 10oz and 3lb 7oz being caught on the first peg.  Sadly, this lulled everyone into a false level of confidence that their next fish was going to be a monster!

Although more big fish were caught, many competitors returned fish early on, then ended up blanking!  Only six competitors took fish, leaving valuable league points unclaimed.

League leader Jamie MacGregor Snr consolidated his position at the top of the leaderboard with a bag of 8lb 8oz, with 2018 newcomer Denis Howell taking second with a bag of 7lb 6oz and Davis Skinner third with 5lb 8oz. Alan Dallas took the bottle for the largest fish outside the top 3.

Denis Howell's second place moves him to second place overall.  Neil Pirrie was also a mover, rising up to fourth place.  With 4 heats still to go, anyone can still win this year's league!

The 5th heat is on Saturday 14 September at 09.00.

2019 Dunlichity Cup Heat 3

Fishing conditions were good for the third heat of this year's Dunlichity Cup.  Unusually, the majority of fish were taken in the afternoon session.

Denis Howell set the early pace, taking his two fish in the first two pegs with a combined weight of 4lb 12oz.  Gordon Haggart then went into the lead with tow fish in Peg 5 for 6lb 11oz (including one fish at 4lb 4oz). 

The heat was finally won when Jamie MacGregor Snr caught his second fish during the final peg to finish with a bag of 7lb 1oz.  Neil Pirrie won the bottle for the biggest fish outside the top 3.

2019 Dunlichity Cup Heat 2

14 competitors arrived to find cold and snowy conditions.  It was good to see James Watson attend for the first time in many heats.

As usual, a lot of fish were caught in the early pegs, with the action slowing down in the afternoon, leaving a lot of people with only one fish bags.

George Ritchie and first timer Denis Howell both secured 10 points with bags of 5lb 5oz each.  Denis took the first prize on the basis of the biggest fish (3lb 1oz compared with George's 3lb 0oz!).  Jamie Macgregor Snr was third with 4lb 15oz.  Jimmy Cooper was the only other competitor to take two fish.  Gordon Haggart won the bottle for a fish of 3lb 12oz.

After two heats, things are close at the top of the leader board with Jamie Macgregor Snr on 15 points, Gordon Haggart on 12 points and 5 anglers on 10 points.





The next heat is on Saturday 1 June at 09.00
