Fly fishing has many aspects to it for some the thrill of competing against nature and fish for others the tranquility of being immersed in the outdoors. There is nothing like some friendly rivalry with an old friend that you only see now and again. Jock Kettles and I have fished for a KitKat for near on thirty years. Give or take a few years when it was just not possible. This year we are trying a new format which will see the cup fished over three venues. The first is to be fished on one of Scotland's only lakes, The Lake of Menteith! Generally considered to be one of the best fisheries in Scotland but would the fishing live up to the hype?

With international rules. Nay snakes sulks. Squirmy is too wormy. An Okey just might be dokey. The quality of fish was great. Perfectly fit with spades for tails. Well worth the extra miles and hours of driving to get there. With Jock in the boat as well. That is just the icing on the cake. Yes you are in competition with one your best long term friends. So the Kit Kat Cup is the extra nostalgia, tradition and nod back to your days of serious competition fishing.

@benvair1370 Жыл бұрын

One of the bonuses of Menteith for me, is that it doesn’t have a jetty. After a serious illness a number of years ago I was left with no feeling in my feet, leaving me with serious balance issues. So accessing and leaving boat from a jetty is a difficulty for me. Menteith is easy, step in get pushed out and away I go.

@@lindsayiflyfish Let's try to educate the masses on the nuances of Scotland, not diminish ourselves to the lowest common denominator. Now, Americans are going to think there are lakes in Scotland, instead of only ONE amongst the 30,000-odd lochs!

@dalekelly1037 8 ай бұрын

Why did they call it a lake why not loch of menteith?

@lindsayiflyfish 8 ай бұрын

Yes, there is one official lake in Scotland. It’s called the Lake of Menteith and is located near Stirling in central Scotland. We’re not completely sure why the Lake of Menteith is called a lake and not a loch. However, it’s thought to be something to do with English influence. Until the 19th century, there are records of Menteith being called a loch. However, one theory is that in 1838 when the UK Government’s Ordnance Survey mapped the area they named it a lake instead and this became cemented.
