The Hawthorn Cup was fished on Sunday the 14th April a good turn out on quite a blustery day to say the least, however most anglers found a few sheltered spots to get some fishing in.
Fly life was present but most flies were blown off the river quickly, very few fish rising for them.
Kevin McLaughlin won the event on a tough day with 2 fish for an over all total of 18 inches well done Kevin. A lot of anglers caught fish around 8-9 inches but the bigger stamp of fish didn't come out to play they properly had more sense to be out on such a windy day. Only one fish over 12 inches was caught by angler Dermot Mitchell. Hopefully the Hawthorns will make an appearance for the JR competition on the 28th of this month.
We are having some difficulties posting the Trout league table it will be updated as soon as these bugs are worked out.
