Brodgar League
Loganair Cup
The unseasonal adverse weather conditions forced the cancellation of the Loganair Cup on Saturday 21st August with the rescheduled Any Loch competition fished the following week, Saturday 28th August. All anglers chose Harray, a clear indication of how well this prolific big loch has fished throughout the 2010 season, and it was clear at the weigh-in that she didn’t disappoint on the day. Conditions were favourable, and with a Northerly breeze and overcast skies most boats headed to the top of the loch, with Merkister Bay, Biggings, Nistaben and Tenston seeing all the early action. Slow intermediate lines in all depths of water appeared to be working well with most takes resulting in a fish in the bag. As is so often the case this wasn’t to last as brighter conditions and a fresh Westerly wind developed making the fishing harder. The positive takes changed to a mere tightening of the line with the fish reluctant to make the usual run. During this period those brave enough to keep pulling and force the fish to run were most successful, with others who didn’t latch onto this technique until it was too late left frustrated. Jack Leslie mastered the conditions best with an excellent basket of fish to round off the 2010 season weighing 23lb 4.5ozs with boat partner Alan Brough taking the day’s heaviest fish at 1lb 6.5ozs. Other notable baskets were Colin and Tiny Barnett’s 19 for 13lb 9.5ozs and 19 for 12lb 8ozs respectively. This win also secured Jack the Association’s Fisherman of the Year Trophy, his fifth in succession, this years being a bit special with a maximum aggregate of 60 points. Tiny Barnett came a close second with Colin Barnett only two points further adrift in third place. With an exceptional season behind us there’s plenty of time in the close season for those who came near to reflect on where it all went wrong for them, tight lines for 2011.
