What looked like perfect conditions for the start of heat 6 of the
Scottish Club Championships it proved once again to be a hard session
on the Lake of Menteith. With plenty fish rising and showing a bit of
interest they just wouldn’t take what the anglers had to offer,
coming short and turning away at the last minute. Best methods on the
night was boobies, blobs and cormorants. The top 3 teams qualified
for the first semifinal on the 18th August

2017
Boat League Results.
On heat 6 24 anglers took to the water on what looked a promising
night with a lot of fish moving but the fish thought otherwise as
they would feed on the Canis instead of fishing flies.94 fish were
caught with Bill Ramage scoring his 3rd win of this year’s league
with 9 fish, he caught his first fish at 6:35 beating Alec Galloway
into 2nd place will also 9 fish but he caught his first fish later at
8:40 Third was Brian MacKenzie with 8 fish. Best methods were Cats
whiskers with snatchers and cormorants on a midge tip line and dries
on a floater. Areas were cages plantation and Katie's brae. This
week’s prizes went to Alec he gets the £25 voucher from James
Bayne Tackle shop in Callander and Brian gets the bottle of whisky
from Andy Smith of Southside decorators.
