Hamish Doull secures the Loganair Cup on Boardhouse
Graham Summers crowned Fisherman of the Year 2026
The final competition of the Brodgar Leagues 2026 season, the Loganair Cup, was fished on Sunday 16th August. This being the “any loch” competition anglers had the choice of fishing Boardhouse, Harray, Hundland, or Swannay. Any one of four anglers were in contention for the Brodgar Leagues top spot, and of the ten competing anglers, six headed for Boardhouse with the remaining four deciding Harray would be the better option. Conditions looked promising for a good day’s fishing, overcast and a nice north westerly breeze persisting for the duration. As the anglers congregated at the Harray Site it would be a tense weigh-in as it soon became apparent that on the day some of the anglers heading the league table hadn’t fared very well, and final placings would be close run. Kenny Chalmers returned 7 for 7lb 5½ozs from Harray to take third spot, runner-up Davy Summers had 5 for 7lb 7½ozs from Boardhouse, with two over 2lb including heaviest fish of the day at 2lb 2½ozs, but it was a chuffed Hamish Doull who secured the Loganair Cup with 9 for 8lb 13½ozs from Boardhouse. Kennys third place catapulted him to 58points, the highest points total in the Brodgar League this year, and equal third place in the aggregate points table (best 6 of the seasons 9 competitions) alongside Davy Linklater on 44 points. Runner-up was Jack Leslie on 49 points, and retaining his Fisherman of the Year title from 2025 was a delighted Graham Summers on 51 points. All-in-all a very successful season where it was great to see competitions being well attended, all going ahead as per the competition programme, a good spread of trophies across the field, and all in a very competitive and sporting atmosphere. Tight lines for the remainder of the season and we hope to see you all out supporting the Brodgar League again in 2027.
