Anglers heading up the loch from the VOLDAC and out from Balmaha were greeted by bright blue skies on Saturday for this years Loch Lomond Fly Fishing Competition - organised annually by the LLAIA. Less than ideal conditions but accompanied by a good stiff breeze there remained grounds for optimism.

When all was said and done only two sea trout were weighed in on Inchmurrin, by VOLDAC members Scott Laird in first place, followed by runner up Alec Doey. Both fish were returned and were estimated around 3/4lb and 1/2lb respectively. Scott was awarded with two bottles of malt whisky for heaviest fish and heaviest basket, and a £75 Snowbee voucher also for heaviest fish. Alec received a bottle of malt whisky as runner up. Well done gents!

New VOLDAC member Roddy Frame won first prize in the raffle and received a £100 voucher for the Loch Lomond Arms Hotel.

The day culminated in a BBQ, some refreshments and a blether amongst fellow anglers. A total sum of £300 was raised and will be donated to the Loch Lomond Rescue Boat by the LLAIA.

Thanks to the LLAIA for organising an enjoyable day out - something to pencil in the diary for next year if you missed it.
