The trout league night was used to run the Intel Trophy on the night with the league night being moved to a different date. It wasn't the best night quite damp but that didn't stop the Leixlip Anglers getting the rods out. Fishing was tuff on the night with water levels a little high & cold, not a single fish was seen rising and most fishing was done by speculation. The winner was Jason Nolan with 2 fish for an enormous total of 20 inches, Mick Duggan caught his first fish on the Rye 10.5 inches which gave him second place well done to both. Hopefully conditions will improve soon and the fishing gets better we can but hope. Don't forget the Green Peter on the 21st of this month maybe the lakes will prove more fruitful.
Tight lines.

Trout League 08/07/2012
Hi All
We are going ahead with the league night on sunday we will meet in the Leixlip church car park @ 8pm fish till 11pm. If anyone wishes to fish the Intel stretch & do not want to leave their car on Kellystown Lane we can accommodate them with a lift up & back. Hope to see you all there, with the fact that the river has been unfishable in the past weeks or is that months (I've lost track its been so long) we should have a good turn out.

Festival Comp 2012
Hi All
A good turn out for the Leixlip Festival Competition Friday 1st June 2012. A good haul of fish caught by the anglers who were treated to a rare sight at the moment a low Liffey. There was a good hatch of several different species of fly with grey flags, yellow sally, Hawthorns, and small sedges so fly choice was made quite difficult on the night. We had a first for this competition on the night 2 winners both catching a 14 inch trout along with several others, they agreed to share there trophy for the year.
The winners were Brian Coffey & Jason Nolan well done to both.
The river fished well as soon as you had picked the right fly sedges worked well on the night.
No News as yet on the Intel Car Park situation we will keep you posted.

Intel Car Park
Hi All
More bad news for you today.
Intel have announced due to Construction Work in the North West car park, the parking facility which has been graciously extended to members of the Leixlip Anglers will discontinue on the 31st of May 2012.
An alternative parking area is currently being investigated by Intel & Leixlip Anglers and should hopefully be in place before the end of the month a text will be sent to all to inform everyone of the closure & again when a solution is arrived at.
Information will also be posted here on the blog.

Poaching On The Rye
Hi All
Sorry to be the bringer of bad news.
We had a massive increase of POACHING on the river over the weekend several POACHERS were seen from Castle Park to Ryevale Lawns. Some very familiar faces who should know better at this stage were observed and the Fisheries Board were contacted to patrol the river, however their time is limited.
We are calling on all members to be extra vigilant over the coming weeks please keep a close eye on the river and report any poaching to our water keepers Jimmy Carroll & Brendan O'Reilly.
This kind of behavior must be stamped out our only weapon is constant vigilance.
Again sorry to bring bad news and hope to see you all on the river soon.
