The Festival Comp

Hi All

A bit late with our updates but better late than never, the festival comp was fished on Friday 31st May on a chilly evening with not much of a rise on the Liffey that didn’t stop the Leixlip Anglers’s from preserving and catching a few trout. Matty had the biggest fish on the night with a trout of 12 inches winning the competition for him Gerry Woods was second with joint third between 4 fishermen. Well done to all who persevered hopefully the weather will improve as the summer rolls on, we will post some pictures when they’re sent in.

Paddies Day Comp 2019

Hi All
the Paddies day comp was fished on Sunday last 24th March delayed due to the aftermath of storm Emma and the rolling flood which kept the river un-fishable for nearly 2 weeks.
We all got out Sunday and were greeted by a lovely sunny morning all be it not a warm one, and the yearly fry up which is always welcome.
The biggest fish fell to Gianluca with a lovely trout of 14.5 inches winning him the Jimmy Carroll trophy for the first time. Well done Luca and all who fished on the day.
Here`s a few pics taken on the day, see you all on the river soon.

1st March 2019

Hi All
Its finally here the first of March and Im sure you are all chomping at the bit to get a bit of fishing in. A good few of our anglers made it down for the 1st with all the usual suspects present. It was a beautiful day with river conditions almost a summer levels and the sun shining which was in stark contrast to the forecast for the 2nd which saw storm Emma looming on the horizon. Heres a few pictures sent in from our members on the day.
