Hi All
The fly tying will kick off for another winter in the usual room at the back of the GAA club from 8pm on Thursday the 1st of November. All are of course welcome the more the merrier, you might even catch (excuse the pun) some of the tried & tested Rye patterns. Hope to see you all drop in over the winter.
Tight treads.

Last Chance 2012
Hi All
The last chance comp was fished on the 16th of September sorry for the delay in results but better late than never. There was a good turn out for the last Trout comp of the year however the trout didn't turn out in numbers though, that didn't stop Kevin McLaughlin who won this event with John Brennan following up in second place. Hope you all have your fingers crossed for a better years fishing next year although that wouldn't be hard. Anyway theres always the Pike comp to look forward to dates of which are to be confirmed.

Trout League 19/08/2012
Hi All
The Trout League was held on Sunday the 19th of August, it was a lovely evening with warm conditions however the rise was not as good as expected but some anglers had a good night. This round was won by Kevin McLaughlin who had a fine haul of 6 fish for his evenings fishing. With the last league evening on the river now finished we can but hope a better year lies ahead next year as this year has been a bit of a wash out. Again the river is in flood today, we have lost count of the amount of flood days this year. With good weather forecast in the near future maybe there is a few good days fishing left in the river yet. The League table is now fully up dated to include the other anglers missing from the green peter, looks like its all wrapped up at the top after the last river round with only the Last Chance comp to go one last outing before the winter is upon us. In other news the new Hawthorn Cup finally arrived and was presented to Michael Callaghan check out the picture in the Hawthorn cup post update.

Green Peter 2012
Hi All
The Green Peter was fished on loch Owel on the 21st July 2012 a good night was had by all with the traditional BBQ and fishing talk rambling well in to the wee hours. Owel didn't fish as well as previous years but that didn't stop Hugh Bassett catching some fine trout and winning him the competition. Michael Callaghan was second also with a nice fish on a tough evening, that place moves Michael in to clear second place in the league closing the gap to Jason, with 2 more events to happen before the end of the season the league could become quite tight before the end. Hope to see you all at the Sedge on the 19th of August and it looks like the conditions are at last turing in our favor with the river looking the best it has all summer. Please note there are some peoples points missing off the current league table don't worry these will be included before the next competition I only have the results of 1st & 2nd at the moment the rest will be filled in after our next meeting.

Intel Trophy 2012
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.

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.
