Lake of Menteith 2/5/18
Temperature at 6ft 10C and
Secchi disk Water Clarity 2.8m
In
the Police Service UK Tri Match involving officers (serving and
retired) from all airts and pairts as well as a Navy Contingent and a
community representation from Lintrathen, Neilston and Gartmore
angling Clubs (56 rods) - 411 fish were caught giving a rod average
of 7.3. Anglers measured their first two fish and then recorded the
number of fish returned up to a maximum of 12 at which point a time
bonus came into operation. Top rod on the day was Barry Robertson
from Lintrathen who had caught his 12 fish by 14.45. Tyler Hay and
Tam Burnett tied for 2nd
top rod. Lintrathen were the top team, followed by Neilston and the
Police finished 3rd.
Pictured below left is Barry Robertson (on right) receiving his
prize from the Ronald McDonald House Chairperson David Watson. The
charity provides free adjacent accommodation for parents of sick
children in Glasgow’s Queen Elizabeth University Hospital. Below
right (on right) Police angling Secretary Jamie Picken hands over the
cheque of £650 collected for Ronald McDonald Trust at the
competition.
Tactics
on the day varied. The best areas were Gateside, Hotel Bay,
International and Kates Brae Bays and Lochend. The prevalent tactics
as far as I am aware was floating line or midge tip with buzzers or
cormorant types and a booby on the end – and as slow as possible a
retrieve whilst at the same time keeping in touch with the flies.
People also did well on faster sinking lines with boobies, cats and
dancers.
EVENING
FISHING has started and a wee reminder to all those interested that
the MENTEITH BOAT LEAGUE League kicks off next Wednesday 9TH
May 6pm. NEW MEMBERS WELCOME.
