Edinburgh and Lothians Course Angling Club recently held the first of their Summer Series at Orchill Fishery, Perthshire.
Anglers faced a bright, still day that started cold but slowly warmed up. Not the best conditions for angling but OK for anglers, writes Geoffrey Lowe.
Most members caught early on but it soon became clear the the winner on the day would come from a battle between David Pellow and Douglas Philips.
They proved to be the only two catching consistently enough to put a good weight together.
Eventually, at the weigh in, David proved to be the winner with over 26lbs, beating Douglas by 6lbs.
The gap could have been closer but Douglas’ keep net had a hole in the bottom allowing fish to escape. Not surprisingly, Douglas has since invested in a new one.
Summer League 2 will be held at the same venue at the end of this month.
