Kenny Chalmers wins The Pomona Cup
Eleven anglers turned out to fish the Pomona Cup on Sunday 31st May. It looked like we were going to have a flat calm for the 11.00am start but as boats motored to their preferred starting drifts a nice NNW breeze picked up, with good cloud cover, and an assortment of fly life on the water conditions seemed almost perfect. One pairing were too eager and just past Neds Islands when they noticed only one rod in the boat, a quick U-turn and back to the site where much to the amusement of fellow anglers the second rod was still attached to the rod holders on Sweyn’s car. Boats were well spread out at the start with Ballarat, Ess Holms, Burrian, and Merkister Bay getting attention, and for some there was good sport to be had in the opening spell. Not long in though and with the wind easing and swinging around to more of a westerly it became very hard to locate a feeding fish, prompting boats to spread out the length of the loch. At the weigh-in it was good to see Robbie Drever out supporting the Brodgar League again, and with some success his first fish of the season a belter at 2lb 4ozs securing heaviest fish of the day, well done Billo. Davy and Graham Summers had a successful day, never venturing far from Ballarat and Burrian with 5 for 5lb 14ozs and 6 for 5lb15ozs respectively, Davy must have thought it would be his day as when casting a good fish came out of the water, grabbed the bait in mid-air and was dully netted, a first in Davys many years fishing. Kenny Chalmers was the man to beat having two fish early doors and another three late on with a move up to Merkister Bay to secure the Pomona Cup with 5 for 6lb 4ozs. Just reward for Kenny who’s been a stalwart of the Brodgar League for many years. With three competitions fished its very close at the top of the Brodgar League with Kenny Chalmers and Davy Linklater tied on 23 points apiece. We’re off to Boardhouse next fishing the Barony Cup on Saturday 13th June 12noon – 5.00pm.
