1st March 2013
Hi All
The first of March has been and gone thank God its a new season, hope you all over wintered well now its time to get back in the river and burn off a few pounds wading.
There were a good few lads out on the 1st Michael Callaghan, Gordan King, Garreth John, Martin Murray & Jason and Kerri Nolan were all out for the new season all caught a few fish and went home happy.
The water temp was a bitter 5 degrees a major change from last year which saw almost hot tub temps in the river at this time of year, temps of 10 degrees were recorded throughout the river last year on the 1st March.
Very little fly life was seen with only a few March Browns and a couple of olives seen hatching.
Pheasant tail Nymphs proved the order of the day with the resident trout happy to gobble them up.
Here are a few pic taken on the day to wet your appetite.
Hope to see you all on the river soon.

2 Weeks to go to the start of the 2013 season
Hi All
The start of the season is nearly here just 2 weeks more to wait. To get you in the mood the 2013 calendar is now posted the dates as normal are set but river conditions may change them slightly.
The car parking issues are not fully resolved as yet but a temporary solution should be in place before the Paddy's day comp also with the Salmon Leap burnt down & their car park closed alternative arrangements will be made closer to the date of the festival comp . Heres to a great 2013 season with lots of trout & some Salmon caught.

It is open from Leixlip Dam downstream to Dublin Bay.
The Leixlip Anglers were out in force to celebrate this moment with a few Licensed anglers fishing the Liffey for Salmon in Leixlip for the first time in years.

Pike Comp 2012
Hi All
The Pike competition was a success again this year with a good turn out and some nice pike caught as well. Donals cooking was again a resounding success and a welcome winter warmer on a chilly day, many thanks to Donal & Dave for the BBQ.
A good few pike were caught and the best of which was caught by Tom Connelly who won the event for a second time well done Tom.
That wraps up another year of competitions only Christmas left to sort out before the thoughts of a new season are upon us, lets pray next year is a better one (fishing wise anyway) we don't ask for much.
Dont forget the fly tying is now in full flight the usual spot at the rear of leixlip GAA Thursday nights all welcome in particular beginners.
Have a great Christmas & a Happy New Year
p.s. If any of our members have any winter fishing pics/stories to share please email them to leixlipanddistrictanglers@gmail.com and we will post them here on the blog.
