A fine Loch Rusky rainbow trout falling to a Cats Whisker. This lure was barbless and the fish was safely returned.
John Convoy and Mike Love on Loch Rusky fishing in bright and difficult conditions. The days 4 rods managed 5 fine rainbow trout.
So how did George McIntosh from “up the braes” manage to photo bomb our own George Thompson and John Convoy on Linlithgow loch. East winds and the sun splitting the sky made the loch a hard days fishing, but we had a new champion this year, by only a few ounces!
Saturday the 9th September saw the open day sunshine bring out budding champions. The weather was glorious, but perhaps not for fishing, it was bright and sunny. Here are the optimists before the event, and the Champions after the event.
The Biggest fish, a cracking 5 pounder was caught by our VP Harry Miller and the best bag returned by Bill Salmond here seen soaking up the plaudits.
All credit to George Thompson and John Reynolds who tied for second place with bags of exactly the same weight. They sportingly tossed a coin, for George to take the honour.
Big thanks for Harry for organising the day, and Bridget for providing the fabulous lunch.
