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).

May On The Rye
Hi All
Chris Haines was back out on the river recently he sent us in a post & a few pictures of fish he's caught recently.
Chris wrote;
Well after four fruitless sessions in April and May I finally connected to some good trout on the Rye thanks to the recent sedge hatches. Last night I had a better fish but did not weigh or measure it. I estimate it at 16 inches and one of the best trout I have had on the Rye. Unfortunately it had a legion and some damage to its tail area but a nice fish all the same. Sedge pattern worked well and thanks to Jason for the advice 3 days previously. Attached photos of three different fish.Chris.

May update
Hi All
Sorry for the delays in updates we were so busy with the Liffey shield preparations we completely forgot to up date the Trout League Table, well its done now with Dermot sitting on top at the moment check out the Trout league page to view. On Liffey shield news after all the hard work by so many members the river was a wash out, the night before the competition the river flooded so it doesn't matter how hard you work at something if mother nature doesn't want it happening she will stop it.
The Liffey Shield will now be rescheduled for later in the year. In other news even though we have been caught in perpetual winter the fishing has still proved good with some fine catches being reported and some real red letter days being had down on the river lately, heres a few pics from April & May below
Kevin Tipper had this fine 18 inch Trout at the end of April
Gianluca had this nice 16 inch trout during May
Jason had this 14 3/4 inch Trout Yesterday

Liffey Shield Preparations
Hi All
The preparations for the hosting the Liffey Shield are going well the river has been pruned from Yellow Walls Bridge to the confluence it took 3days to complete, a very large well done to the lads who got stuck in over the past week you did a really good job.
However the work isn't finished yet we will still need to do a clean up there is rubbish in the river at several points which will need to come out before the 9th May, we could do with all hands who can spare a few hours to help, we will schedule it for next weekend and confirm with a text during the week as to which day, time etc, any help will be greatly appreciated.
Also as the river is now in prime condition for fishing, if anyone is down fishing and see any rubbish / branches in the river by all means remove them, every little helps.

The Hawthorn Cup
Hi all
The Hawthorn cup was fished on Saturday 11th April, it was a little bit chilly but quite sunny and for the most part a pleasant day with most if not all anglers catching fish. Team Wychwood were out in force and determined to have a good day, well they brought enough gear to ensure that. Dermott Mitchell won this comp with a net bursting 17 fish for an over all of 180inches the biggest 16 inches, his first win in the club, although he's been knocking on the door for some time now well done Dermott. As a matter of fact Team Wychwood made it 1,2,3, with Gianluca 2nd with 71.5 inches & Michael Callaghan 3rd with 54 inches well done to all.
In other news as was announced at the start of the year as part of our 25th year celebrations we will be hosting the Liffey shield this year on the 9th May on the Rye, there is a major pruning & cleaning process underway at the moment, the river has been pruned from Kellystown bridge to the fence at the end of the Confey College football pitches with only the stretch from there to the confluence remaining which will be done this week, a major undertaking by any standard. Very well done to all those who took part & helped over the weekend, a large cleanup will be required closer to the date to ensure the river is in pristine condition for the Liffey Shield and in turn then for the rest of the season.
As noted above the pruning is complete down to Ryevale so if you do go fishing this week you will be pleasantly surprised at the ease of casting in the river.
We will sign off now but will keep you all informed of the big clean up closer to the Liffey Shield.
