Hi All
The Trout League Round 5 was fished on the 5th July 2014, not quite the weather we had for the Intel Trophy but hey you can't win them all. A good turn out and a good few fish caught with Aidan Crean won this leg of the league with a fine trout of 19 inches from the Rye I'm sure you'll agree a lump.
Kevin McLaughlin was second with another fine fish of 15 inches, a good nights fishing by any standards. Remember if you want to go on the Blackwater trip please contact Aidan Crean ASAP.
The Green Peter is to be fished on the 26th July meet at Jack Doolins always a bit of crack with a BBQ after, if your going and need a boat please contact Mattie Cunningham.

Intel Trophy 2014
Hi All
A good turn out as usual for the Intel Trophy and an absolutely beautiful evening was granted by the gods of fishing with a fabulous sedge hatch from 9pm on wards, can't ask for better really. In fact the sedge hatch got so intense on some sections of the river some anglers sugested a dust mask would have come in handy. The competition was accumulative length as usual and was won by Kevin Tipper with and overall length of 135 inches a fine total well done Kevin. Jason Nolan was 2nd with a total of 117.5 inches & Dermott Mitchell was 3rd with a total of 43 inches. The biggest single fish also fell to Kevin Tipper 2no fish at 15 inches. Apologies to Colm Corrigan who we've been wrongly calling Horrigan for some reason this year its been rectified now thankfully, notably he had one of his best evenings on the Rye & best league placing with 31.5 inches for 5th place, narrowly pipped for 4th by Alan Clarke with 35 inches for his best place to date also. Another apology as not one photo was taken on the night by anyone, with everyone to busy enjoying the beautiful weather & sedge hatch we all got a bit carried away.
Anyhow the next competition is League Night 5 on Saturday the 5th July Meet at 7:30pm intel football pitches fishing till 11pm. However please note as per anglers discussion about the end time after this comp last year & subsequent comity discussion on the matter, the end time may be extended to 12pm if conditions require it which will be decided on the night.
Hope to see you all there & if someone could ask the fishing gods for the same conditions as the Intel Trophy it would be much appreciated.

Leixlip Festival Competition
Hi All
The Festival competition fished very well with a lot of fish caught over measurable length. a good night was had by all with the Liffey low for a change (whats seldom is wonderful). The best fish caught on the night was a 17" Trout caught by Brian Coffey, 3 anglers had a 15" fish to secure them second place and a series of fish below that in the low teens made up the top six. Most notable was joint 3rd place with a 14" trout was Paul Hegearty who has shown much improved form over the last few competitions well done Paul keep up the hard work its paying off.
A great turn out for this competition as always heres a few anglers who were left at the end for a picture see below.

Jr Competition
Hi All
The Jr competition was fished on Sunday 26th April all the usual suspects turned out for the days action which turned out to be good as all caught fish. The weather was also well behaved in comparison to the gale which was blowing last year this was much appreciated. The competition was won by Connor Callaghan with a lovely 12 inch trout caught on a Hawthorn Fly.
Well done Connor and all who fished on the day, also thanks to the seniors who left the river to them on the day it was much appreciated. Heres a few photos below taken on the day.
