RAITH RESERVOIR (Prestwick): after a well publicised build-up, the response to the club’s latest event was disappointing to say the least with only seven rods participating.

The magnificent seven had no cause for complaint as a lot of effort had gone into the set up and within the hour Jim Tomlinson secured first place with six rainbows for 16lbs taken on a Yellow Fritz.

Second was veteran angler Andy McKissock with five rainbows for 10lbs 11oz on a Green Fritz and the same again lost, Tom Collins two rainbow for 5lbs 3oz on a Green Fritz, must have been a fire sale on these lures, Jock Patterson one rainbow which proved the heaviest fish for 3lbs 5oz on a Partridge.

The next major competition is the John Baillie Memorial Trophy on Sunday, July 3. A better attendance would be appreciated.
