The Inverness Open Pike Competition.
Thirty Five brave souls stuck it out for eight hours of four seasons in one day. None of my group of seven caught a fish but we had a good day, and a nice outdoor lunch. In between the storms there were some spectacular rainbows.
Out of the 35 anglers only 5 fish were caught. Tournament was won by a catch of 2 fish for a weight of less than 10 pounds.
There's always next year........

Nice pics.
My hubby would have had some fun with this. We're up in the Calif. Sierras a lot, trying to win the money prize fish; well, and having fun being up in the mountains fishing by the lakes.
Sorry the day wasn't more "profitable". :)
(please don't chuckle too loudly in my direction, but how do you pronounce 'Oich'?)
Good luck with the fishing!
How to pronounce Oich?
Sort of like oi with a ch on the end but the ch is sounded like you are trying to remove a hair from the back of your throat ;-)sorry but you did ask lol.....
Hi Gordon,
ah, I do know that Scottish 'ch'! ;)
I suppose it's the 'oi' that's got me, or should I say doesn't got me...it's the combined vowels...oi. I just don't remember all the pronunciations.
my American southern would say awl, for oil. Then there's the Yankee oi in oink, or the frenchie's moi from language class....gee, I suppose when we're next in Scotland, maybe I should just ask the tour guide, 'take us to the lake with the fish in it!' ;D
but at least I can answer, when questioned: "furry boots?" :)
