The Sedge (Trout League round 7)

Hi All
The second last leg of the Trout League was fished on Sunday evening and a fine evening with just a couple of short showers greeted the anglers who turned out. There wasn't a great hatch but that didn't put a dampener on proceedings as some anglers had a grand evenings fishing. This round was won by Jason Nolan with 7 trout for an over all total of 72inches Dermott Mitchell was second with 3 trout for 42 inches Dermott also took the bonus point for the biggest fish on the night with a massive 20inch trout a fish of a lifetime well done to both. Martin Murray also had a nice 15 inch trout continuing the run of fine trout caught on the rye this year all the conservation work is paying off as we have seen over the course of the year. The trout league which was quite close is now set up for a last day show down between Kevin Tipper & Jason Nolan who are neck & neck level on points at the top of the league, looks like it will have to be sorted out on Lough Owel in the quite fittingly named "Last Chance  Competition" to decide who wins the league.

The Green Peter

Hi All
The Green Peter comp was well attended as usual with a fine BBQ afterwards, Donal as usual providing his culinary skills to keep everyone full of burgers.
There were lots of burgers but sad to say not many fish with only 2 trout making it to the weigh in, low water levels & high water temperatures may have contributed to the lack of fish, but this didn't dampen sprits as the banter on the bank afterwards will testify to.
John Brennan won with Gerry Woods second well done to both for catching a fish on such a tough night.
Dont forget the last river leg of the Trout League is on this Sunday and with some heavy rain forecast for today it might freshen things up for Sunday evening, meet at the Intel football pitches  car park @ 7:30pm fishing from 8-10pm.
Hope to see you all there.
