ABBOTT TIGHTY LINES. Derravaragh Anglers fished their first trout competition on Easter Sunday, and some fine fish were caught on this cracking fishery. With the first sight of a few Mayfly, the Trout were up for a look around, and quite a few fish were stirred on the day.
On the day regular Derravaragh angler Kieran Evans produced a super fish of 3lbs 8oz to take Top Rod with Joe Keena catching 2 fish best 2lbs 8oz to take 2nd spot, and Christy Hynes Competition Captain taking 3rd spot. Joe Keena tells us Scale samples from these fish were gathered and these will provide information for the genetic and abundance study of Lough Derravaragh trout.
Anglers are requested to support the genetic and abundance survey of Derravaragh trout by retaining scale samples of any trout they catch and leaving these scales with Karl in the shop at Donore Caravan Park or by contacting Joe Keena on 086 8722449.
Derravaragh Anglers have more cracking Trout and Pike competition coming up in the next few months, so if interested in coming on board with Derravaragh Anglers membership is open, and give Joe a shout.
