Hi All
The second last leg of the Trout League was fished on Sunday evening and a fine evening with just a couple of short showers greeted the anglers who turned out. There wasn't a great hatch but that didn't put a dampener on proceedings as some anglers had a grand evenings fishing. This round was won by Jason Nolan with 7 trout for an over all total of 72inches Dermott Mitchell was second with 3 trout for 42 inches Dermott also took the bonus point for the biggest fish on the night with a massive 20inch trout a fish of a lifetime well done to both. Martin Murray also had a nice 15 inch trout continuing the run of fine trout caught on the rye this year all the conservation work is paying off as we have seen over the course of the year. The trout league which was quite close is now set up for a last day show down between Kevin Tipper & Jason Nolan who are neck & neck level on points at the top of the league, looks like it will have to be sorted out on Lough Owel in the quite fittingly named "Last Chance Competition" to decide who wins the league.

The Green Peter
Hi All
The Green Peter comp was well attended as usual with a fine BBQ afterwards, Donal as usual providing his culinary skills to keep everyone full of burgers.
There were lots of burgers but sad to say not many fish with only 2 trout making it to the weigh in, low water levels & high water temperatures may have contributed to the lack of fish, but this didn't dampen sprits as the banter on the bank afterwards will testify to.
John Brennan won with Gerry Woods second well done to both for catching a fish on such a tough night.
Dont forget the last river leg of the Trout League is on this Sunday and with some heavy rain forecast for today it might freshen things up for Sunday evening, meet at the Intel football pitches car park @ 7:30pm fishing from 8-10pm.
Hope to see you all there.

A Record Breaking Evening
Hi All
Martin Dowling & Jason Nolan were out last week on the river and were treated to a fine evenings fishing, it was quite foggy/misty which normally means the trout will have no interest but some times tenacity pays off and thats exactly what happened. After several fish of varying size from 10-13 inches each, they both broke their records for their biggest trout from the Rye River it was Zoo Creatures all round.
Also Brendan O Reilly has asked that any fish scale samples you have so far be returned for posting to Martin O'Grady for processing, anyone helping with the sampling can continue until the end of the season and if you need further envelopes please contact Brendan.
Also in other news we have installed a red reflector on a tree to mark the crossing point to the new path to the football pitches car park, when heading upstream the crossing point is just past the red reflector about 15 meters upstream on your right, the reflector shows up well when illuminated with a torch.

Trout League Round 5
Hi All
The 5th round of the Trout League was fished last night in glorious weather, the canis fly were out in force again which made the ideal conditions not so ideal with only a couple of fish being caught in day light hours. An excellent sedge hatch developed as dusk set in with the bigger trout coming out to play as darkness descended. Kevin Tipper won this round of the league with a fine trout of 15 inches, Jason Nolan was 2nd with a 13.5 inch trout & Dermot Mitchell 3rd with an 11inch trout. All the anglers felt the competition was only hotting up when we had to finish, it was suggested that next year it might be an idea if it was fished on a Saturday so a later finish time could be availed of. All enjoyed the evenings fishing and the balmy temperatures even if it did get a little sweaty in the waders, one angler who was wearing neoprene's thought he lost about 2 stone over the course of the evening that will save the cost of a gym membership so. Next round is the Green Peter in Lough Owel on the 27th July which is always a good evenings fishing and a BBQ afterwards is always well received.

Trout League Round 5
Hi All
The trout league round 5 will be fished tomorrow evening 7th July meet in the Intel football pitch car park @ 7:30pm fishing from 8-11pm. With the league so tight across the top ten this should be a very interesting round. A few of the lads have been down on the river lately reports suggest the dreaded cainis fly has returned although there was also a good sedge hatch later on.
We hope to see you all Sunday.
