Hi There,
I had my personal best fish yesterday evening on on a dry fly.
It measured the fish against my rod and then matched the writing on the rod with the tape.
It measures about 20.5 inches, id say it weighed about 2.5 ibs.
I just went home after catching it as i figured I couldn't top it... Loving my first year on the river!
Tight Lines,
Doug.

The Liffey Shield
Hi All
The Liffey Shield the annual Liffey River inter club competion was fished yesterday on the Rye River (a tributary of the Liffey). The Rye was chosen to host the event this year to celebrate the Leixlip & District Anglers 25th anniversary.
It was due to be staged in May when the river was fishing brilliantly but was cancelled to flood and was rescheduled to September.
Conditions were difficult with water levels which more resembled the summer months than the first weekend in September and bright sun light during the day were not conducive to catching lots of Trout.
Teams from Clane Anglers, Dublin Trout Anglers & Leixlip & District Anglers contested the Shield with North Kildare & Kilcullen angling clubs unable to attend due to prior commitments.
It was a red letter day for the hosts as our team won the event for the first time in the clubs history, with our own Dermot Mitchell finishing top rod we are certain you will join us in congratulating the team who consisted of Gianluca Paolella (Team Captain) Brian Coffey, Jason Nolan & Dermot Mitchell very well done lads and well done to all the anglers who stuck at it for the day in less than perfect conditions. Heres a few photos below, more were taken on the day which we will post as soon as we get them. Also thanks to the Salmon Leap Inn for hosting the presentation afterwards the sandwiches were very welcome.

The Green Peter
Hi All
The Green Peter was fished on Lough Owl as usual and thankfully it fished better than last year.
With most anglers returning catches it was certainly an improvement. Noel Cleary returned the biggest fish to win the comp with Noel Fitzpatrick and Aidan Crean second and third respectfully.
as usual the post comp BBQ was enjoyed by all with a bit of banter to boot. Well done noel and all who caught on the night.

Trout League Round 5
Hi All
The Trout League round 5 was fished last Saturday night and a lovely calm, warm night greeted the anglers who came out for some fishing and a bit of craic. The fishing got better as the night progressed with the big boys coming out after dark. The competition was won in the end by Gianluca who caught 8 fish for a total of 90.5 inches, Dermot Mitchell was 2nd with 6 fish for 62.5 inches overall. This was Gianluca's first win although he as been knocking on that door for a while so none of us were surprised by his win, well done Luca. Also of note Sean Melia got 3rd place his best result to date well done Sean your getting closer the hard work is paying off. Thankfully we have had a bit of rain recently which may help the early evening fishing as water levels have been quite low, the low water levels have also put the fish under a bit of stress so please exercise caution when putting back fish to ensure they recover properly as a few dead fish have been seen recently so best to make sure they have recovered before release.
