Helensburgh Angling Club
5th Competition
The last round of the Club Championship was held on Sunday 13th September.
Attendence was reduced due to a clash with other sporting committments ie the big gemme.
A total of 7 fish were caught, including a 4lb rainbow by Ian McKenzie which consolidated his No 1 position in the Championship. Consequently he has been crowned Champion for 2026.
Ross Thorley and Iain Macfarlane each caught 3.
