Fisherman of the Year - Jack Leslie |
The final competition of the Brodgar Leagues 2023 season, the any loch competition, was fished on Sunday 20th August from 11.00am – 5.00pm. All but one of the eight competitors chose Harray as their favoured venue, with Stuart Flett taking a chance on Swanney. With almost flat calm at the start anglers were relieved to see a slight southerly breeze develop as they set up their initial drifts, on Harray at Kirkness, Ballarat, Bochan, and Kirk Bay where there were fish to be taken early on. Following a further period of flat calm, the breeze increased slightly and veered to a more westerly direction which appeared to get the trout feeding again with Nistaben and Bochan being productive. There were some well-conditioned trout presented at the weigh-in, and best of the lot was a cracking 2lb 3ozs specimen from Davy Summers, and Sweyn Leonard putting together a nice bag with 6 at 6lb 14ozs. All the Harray anglers having weighed-in the on-form Duncan Cameron was taking the plaudits weighing 14 fish for 12lb 2½ozs only to be pipped at the post when Stuart Flett turned up from Swannay with a fine basket of 13 for 12lb 12ozs to secure the Loganair Cup. Final league placings for Fisherman of the Year 2023 were in 1st place Jack Leslie with 58 points, closely followed by runner-up Duncan Cameron with 54 points, and in third place Stuart Flett on 44 points. Congratulations to all this season’s winners and thank you to everyone who came out to support the Brodgar League. Here’s hoping we’ll see you all competing again in 2024.
