Trout League Round 5

Hi All
The Trout League round 5 was fished last Saturday night and a lovely calm, warm night greeted the anglers who came out for some fishing and a bit of craic. The fishing got better as the night progressed with the big boys coming out after dark. The competition was won in the end by Gianluca who caught 8 fish for a total of 90.5 inches, Dermot Mitchell was 2nd with 6 fish for 62.5 inches overall. This was Gianluca's first win although he as been knocking on that door for a while so none of us were surprised by his win, well done Luca. Also of note Sean Melia got 3rd place his best result to date well done Sean your getting closer the hard work is paying off. Thankfully we have had a bit of rain recently which may help the early evening fishing as water levels have been quite low, the low water levels have also put the fish under a bit of stress so please exercise caution when putting back fish to ensure they recover properly as a few dead fish have been seen recently so  best to make sure they have recovered before release.

The Intel Trophy

Hi All
The Intel Trophy was fish last night on the Rye and a fine evening greeted a fine turnout, all were in good spirits. The river was a little low but nothing to complain about and a good hatch came on at about 10pm in some parts of the river other parts saw no hatch at all. Dermot Mitchell won this competition with 8 fish for 80 inches overall length, Jason Nolan was 2nd with 5 fish for 49 inches and Aidan Crean & Kevin Tipper were joint 3rd with 38 inches each. Donal Connelly caught the largest fish of the evening at 15.5 inches and Dermot took the most fish bonus point. All enjoyed the event spent by the river even if some spent most of the evening yapping rather than fishing (thats the Leixlip Anglers for you a good yap is as important as a good fish). Heres some pictures taken on the evening.

The First Salmon of the Year Trophy

Hi All
The Leixlip Anglers got to award a Trophy this year which hasn't been awarded for many years. The First Salmon of the year by a Leixlip Anglers member and it went to none other than Brian Coffey who's already caught a few salmon on the Liffey this year, well done Brian. Its great to see this trophy awarded again and since the lifting of the Salmon fishing ban on the Liffey to allow catch and release Brian has shown many of us how fruitful Salmon fishing can be on the Liffey.

All in good form and happy to be fishing, it seems Martin Murray has hooked a photographer (pity they don't count, he was a big one).
