John
Buchanan Champion of Champions 4 a 3rd
Time.
John Buchanan of
Newtonmearns AC and Stirling Resident has won the Scottish Clubs
Champion of Champions competition for a record third time. John AKA
“Boo” and renowned expert at fishing the booby, won the comp by
fishing a Di3 line with two boobies – a pseudocat booby on the top
and an olive booby (one of Billy Dewars) on the tail. The boobies
were fairly close (6ft) to allow him to fish the shallower water and
the fish were caught evenly on both flies with the rig and flies
remaining unchanged all day. John (pictured left, courtesy of Tom
MacTaggart), caught 14 fish and was fishing the west side of Gateside
Bay - along the rope and by the lilly pads up to the metal fence. The
fish on the day were averaging 3lbs but John managed 7lb 4oz in his
two weighed fish, and this with a 2lb allowance for the 12 returned
fish gave him a total weight of 31lbs 4oz. In second place was Mike
Willis of Bridge of Allan with one more fish, but his first two fish
for the scales weighed a mere 4lbs 15.8 oz. Hard lines Mike! Mike was
fishing a midge tip line with a red ribbed diawl bach on the dropper
and a pseudo whitecat booby on the tail. Mike netted 9 fish in hotel
bay, 5 on the road shore and 1 in Tod Hole. In 3rd
place was James Litster with 13 fish.
In all the 58 anglers
killed 104 fish which weighed 309 fish and returned a further 159,
giving a rod average 4.5 fish for 13lbs 10oz.
The competition was
sponsored by FAMOUS GROUSE
and SNOWBEE.
Some nice fish in the
catches as you’d expect with an average weight of nearly 3lbs.
Catches have been coming from all areas of the loch… Gerry Taylor
from Milngavie AC was out with Grandson Archie and captured this nice
6lb 8oz fish. Some cold nights have dropped the water temperature and
slowed the fish down a little.
At the weekend
St.Peters AC 6 boats caught 30 fish for 91lbs and returned two,
Brechin AC 6 boats 28 fish 79lbs, Heriots AC 8 boats 10 fish for
22lbs 7oz and returned 12, Priory AC 4 or 9 boats? 14 fish for 45lbs
plus 5rtd, KAAC 5 boats 16 fish plus 3 rtd.
