A Record Breaking Evening
Hi All
Martin Dowling & Jason Nolan were out last week on the river and were treated to a fine evenings fishing, it was quite foggy/misty which normally means the trout will have no interest but some times tenacity pays off and thats exactly what happened. After several fish of varying size from 10-13 inches each, they both broke their records for their biggest trout from the Rye River it was Zoo Creatures all round.
Also Brendan O Reilly has asked that any fish scale samples you have so far be returned for posting to Martin O'Grady for processing, anyone helping with the sampling can continue until the end of the season and if you need further envelopes please contact Brendan.
Also in other news we have installed a red reflector on a tree to mark the crossing point to the new path to the football pitches car park, when heading upstream the crossing point is just past the red reflector about 15 meters upstream on your right, the reflector shows up well when illuminated with a torch.

Trout League Round 5
Hi All
The 5th round of the Trout League was fished last night in glorious weather, the canis fly were out in force again which made the ideal conditions not so ideal with only a couple of fish being caught in day light hours. An excellent sedge hatch developed as dusk set in with the bigger trout coming out to play as darkness descended. Kevin Tipper won this round of the league with a fine trout of 15 inches, Jason Nolan was 2nd with a 13.5 inch trout & Dermot Mitchell 3rd with an 11inch trout. All the anglers felt the competition was only hotting up when we had to finish, it was suggested that next year it might be an idea if it was fished on a Saturday so a later finish time could be availed of. All enjoyed the evenings fishing and the balmy temperatures even if it did get a little sweaty in the waders, one angler who was wearing neoprene's thought he lost about 2 stone over the course of the evening that will save the cost of a gym membership so. Next round is the Green Peter in Lough Owel on the 27th July which is always a good evenings fishing and a BBQ afterwards is always well received.

Trout League Round 5
Hi All
The trout league round 5 will be fished tomorrow evening 7th July meet in the Intel football pitch car park @ 7:30pm fishing from 8-11pm. With the league so tight across the top ten this should be a very interesting round. A few of the lads have been down on the river lately reports suggest the dreaded cainis fly has returned although there was also a good sedge hatch later on.
We hope to see you all Sunday.
