Lake of Menteith
29th Sept 2014
6ft Water Temperature 13.5, Clarity (Secchi disc) 2.5m
The wind last Thursday thoroughly dispersed the algae
and water clarity is back to usual levels. With the first decent low
pressure system for a long time set to arrive towards the weekend, it
doesn’t look likely that the algae will manage to re-establish.
122nd
National Fly Fishing Championships Final
Sponsored by Ridgeline and Glen Garioch
Malt whisky
60 anglers competed in this keenly
contested championship final, catching 476 fish (rod av. 7.9
fish)with an average weight of 2.5lbs, of which 301 were returned
(assumed weight 2lbs). The 122nd
Champion was Ayrshireman and Menteith Osprey Club Member Ronald
Gilbert. Ronald (below left) stayed away from the main fleet in
Gateside Bay and netted 16 fish for 34lbs 15oz. Ronald was “twiddling
a fast tip with a blob, cormorant and booby on the point, in
International Bay. Paul Garner finished a very close 2nd
with a similar number of fish but weighing in at 32lbs 12oz. Ronald
is a previous champion from 2008. In 3rd
place was Campbell Morgan and 4th
Alan Smith. This pair stayed in Hotel Bay all day. The heaviest fish
was 7lbs 8oz caught by Good Companion angler Tom McBride. More
information at http://www.sanacc.org.uk/index.html.
The top 21 anglers qualified to fish for the National
Team in 2015. The cut off point for qualification was 19lbs. Thanks
to the match organisers, the 30 boatmen, Ridgeline clothing, Morrison
Bowmore and Stewart Marshall the Piper.
Stuart McLean who finished with 9 fish was out again on
Sunday and managed 23 from the same but less crowded drift in
Gateside Bay. QG
