Top Rod Jack Leslie

Success on Boardhouse for Jack Leslie

On Sunday 2nd August eleven anglers turned out on Boardhouse to fish the Barony Cup. It was bright with a stiff WNW breeze blowing down the loch at the start with the Barony, Ink Bottle, Crook, and Tuffta shore being popular early drifts. Water clarity was fairly good considering all the wind we have experienced lately, and the sunshine didn’t deter the fish either with a few to be had early doors. A couple of hours in saw some good cloud cover which if anything switched the fish off for a while with boats changing ground looking for better sport, the Narrows, off the Pumphouse and Burn mouth getting some attention. By the end we were back to bright sunshine and a decreasing wind with loads of undersized fish caught and released in that period. At the weigh-in Duncan Cameron had 9 for 7lb 10½ozs, Graham Summers was runner up with 14 for 12lb 1oz, and Jack Leslie secured the Barony Cup with 11 for 12lb 7½ozs. Jacks basket included best fish of the day at 2lb 1oz and a belter at 2lb 10ozs. It’s close running at the top of the Brodgar League where the anglers drop three competitions with their six best baskets counting towards Fisherman of the Year. Potentially any one of the top four anglers are in contention so it’s all to play for in the seasons final competition, The Loganair Cup to be fished on Sunday 16th August 11.00am – 5.00pm where anglers have the choice of Boardhouse, Harray, Hundland, or Swannay, with weigh-in at the Harray site by 6.00pm.
