OTFA Competition Anglers Celebrate The 2024 Season
Last Saturday night saw the OTFA members gather for their annual dinner and presentation, at
Orkneys award winning and top fishing hotel, the Merkister. This is always a very enjoyable night
and one to look forward to, with numbers attending actually up from 2023.
Following a sumptuous meal, the cups and prizes were awarded by Leslie Miller, ably assisted by
John Munson. There were a few highlights, Ken Kennedy and Jack Leslie leaving with armfuls of
trophies with them winning the Fly Fisherman of the Year and Brodgar League respectively and
Ian Hutcheon also rounded off his excellent year by winning a place in the Scottish International
team to fish at the Lake of Menteith next season. There was a poignant moment when members
and guests raised a glass to toast absent anglers and friends.
The company then retired to the bar and continued their celebrations into the night, with the
seasons highs and lows revisited.
Many thanks to Lorna, Jackie and all the staff at the Merkister for being perfect hosts, Leslie
Miller and John Munson for arranging the prize giving on the night, and to all those who turned
out, it was good craic.
