Most were taken in the top layers of water up at Malling Shore and Gateside. Top individual was John Hood (on left) with 11 fish. John, who is a full time angling development officer, was fishing dries down the rope at Gateside. 10 fish for Tam Findlay and Andrew McAdam saw Tam take second on time of first fish. Top pair were Alastair McGillvray and Tam Findlay with 18 fish, second John Hood and Andrew McIntosh and third were 2013 champions Alan Steven and Andrew McAdam. Alistair and Tam were fishing midge tip lines with blobs and cormorants? Full results are available on the SANA Website www.sana.org.uk
