Angling: SUM CATCH.


Byline: By SILVER WILKIE

THEY say practice makes perfect. That's what the Sunburst angling squad found after a practice session on the Lake of Menteith The Lake of Menteith (Scottish Gaelic "Loch Innis MoCholmaig"), or, until the 20th century, the Loch of Menteith, is a loch in Scotland, located on the Flanders Moss, the flood plain of the upper reaches of the rivers Forth and Teith, upstream of Stirling.  on the eve On the Eve (Накануне in Russian) is the third novel by famous Russian writer Ivan Turgenev, best known for his short stories and the novel Fathers and Sons.  of heat three of the Scottish Club Championship.

The Sunburst team - Gordon McGregor For the first president of Ford Motor Company of Canada, see Gordon Morton McGregor.

Gordon Roy McGregor CC OBE DFC (September 26, 1901 - March 3, 1971) was a Canadian businessman and the first president of Air Canada.
, 52, of Bonnybridge, Michael Low, 21, of East Kilbride, and Martin Hamilton, 49, from Kilmarnock - hit fish all night in Cages Bay and decided to try their luck there again on the big night.

It was the right move because while 95 per cent of the anglers were concentrating on the Road Shore drifts, the Sunburst Trio were doing very nicely, thank you.

They netted 13 prime Menteith rainbows, which was the best club bag of the heat.

Later, team captain Gordon said: "The fish were really on and I bagged up by 8.15pm after catching six and hitting at least another 10.

"We were all fishing fast glass lines with a Sunburst Blob on the point teamed up with either Diawl Bachs or Cormorants."

It was quite fitting for a club called Sunburst that each one of the 13 fish was caught on the Sunburst Blob.

Added Gordon: "We didn't see a lot of fish moving, but what we got were all taken in the first foot of water. I found that if you didn't have one on within the first three pulls, then you weren't going to get anything."

The Sunburst team have fished the Scottish Club Championships five times and came in seventh in the final two years ago.

Heat three produced another great evening on the Lake, with 119 trout weighing 264 lb landed by 54 anglers in 27 boats. The heaviest individual basket - a limit bag of six rainbows weighing 14lb 1oz - was caught by Bill Brown, of the ICI (language) ICI - An extensible, interpretated language by Tim Long with syntax similar to C.

David Adams, of the Aberfoyle club, caught the heaviest fish, a cracker of 3lb 12oz, for which he received a bottle of Famous Grouse grouse, common name for a game bird of the colder parts of the Northern Hemisphere. There are about 18 species. Grouse are henlike terrestrial birds, protectively plumaged in shades of red, brown, and gray. .

The Club Championship is the flagship competition of SANA, the ruling body of game angling in Scotland and, along with the Champion of Champions for individual anglers, is sponsored by the Daily Record and Martin Grantham, of the Angling Centre, Stirling.
