OTFA Brodgar League
Loganair Cup
Sunday 17th August – Any Loch
The final competition of the Brodgar Leagues 2025 season, the Loganair Cup, was fished on Sunday 17th August. This being the “any loch” competition anglers had the choice of fishing Boardhouse, Harray, Hundland, or Swannay.Dry for the duration with a gentle north westerly breeze keeping it slightly cooler than off late, it was a grand day to be on the loch.

Boardhouse was the loch of choice for most with only Arthur Barnett and Mervin Ballantyne afloat on Harray, Kenny Chalmers joining his fellow anglers on Boardhouse after a barren two hours on Hundland. Fishing was slow to start with mainly undersize fish caught; it looked like it was going to be a hard task to put together a decent basket as anglers searched for productive fishing grounds. Davy Summers stuck with the Barony end which had rewarded himself and boat partner Graham in earlier competitions, Davy had 6 fish for 4lb 6½ozs to take third place, in second place was Jack Leslie with 11 fish going 8lb ½oz mostly caught in a small area off Crook late on, and a delighted Duncan Cameron secured the Loganair Cup with 9 fish for 8lb 1½ozs taken mainly from a few late drifts between the Site Hut and Pumphouse. Duncans basket included one at 1lb 11½ozs only to be outdone by boat partner Stuart Flett who had the heaviest fish of the day, a beauty at 2lb 1ozs. With final league points awarded Jack Leslie and Graham Summers couldn’t be separated, both accumulating 56 aggregate points apiece, however Graham had the better head-head results and was duly announced the OTFA Brodgar League Fisherman of the Year 2025. Congratulations to Graham who showed great consistency throughout the season, to all this season’s winners, and well done to everyone who came out to support the Brodgar League. We hope to see you all competing again in 2026.
