Kintyre Angling Club’s most recent competitions took place just three days apart but the conditions were different for each.
Conditions were tough for those competing for the Stromolloch Shield at Lussa Loch on Sunday April 28, with bright sunshine and a cold wind swirling round the loch making it very hard at times.
Despite the challenging weather, some fish were landed.
Results: John McCallum – two rainbows 2lb 2oz; Graham Paterson – two rainbows 2lb 8oz; Reid Anderson – two rainbows 2lb 15oz; Stewart Cunningham – two rainbows 3lb; John MacDonald – one rainbow and three brownies 3lb 6oz; Archie McCallum – four rainbows 5lb.
John MacDonald now takes the lead in the heaviest brown trout for the season with a brilliant 1lb 1oz wild brownie, while Archie was the competition’s winner with his fine bag of four rainbows.
The loch was like glass for the entirety of the Barasky Shield competition Wednesday May 1, making conditions extremely challenging which resulted in not many fish being landed.
Results: John McCallum – one brownie 6oz; Bruce Campbell – one brownie 7oz; Reid Anderson – one brownie 8oz; Archie McCallum – one rainbow 1lb 8oz; John MacDonald – one rainbow and one brownie 1lb 14oz.
John MacDonald notched up his first win of the season with his two trout.
