Hi All
The Hawthorn cup was fished in April a little bit chilly on the day and quite overcast, the weather conditions didn’t put our Leixlip anglers off and all who showed up for the competition caught fish, well done lads. Michael Callaghan was the winner in the end with 6 fish for 53 inches well done Michael, Anton was second with 5 fish for 48 inches and Cris was 3 rd with 2 fish for 17 inches. Well done to all who fished, here’s a couple of pictures below of the day.

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.
