The Leixlip Festival competition was fished on the weekend and what we expected from our 2 rivers is not what we got. On arriving at the car park the Liffey looked in great condition for an evenings fishing, we had no sooner said that and the Liffey water levels rose dramatically to the point it was almost un-fishable. Most anglers headed for the Rye instead due to the sudden rise of level in the Liffey only to find the Rye full of flood run off and while not too deep it was very coloured so tough conditions all round for all the anglers who turned out. Aidan Crean defended his title with a lovely trout of 16.5 inches, Dermot Mitchel was second with a 12 inch trout & we had joint third with Michael Callaghan & Tony Daly both catching an 11 inch fish, Tony also collected the most fish bonus point for having the most fish over 8 inches on the night, well done to all who fished on quite a tough evening. Lets hope the ESB don't try to drown us next year.
