Kieran Roche PRO of Carrickmacross Coarse Angling Club reports that the picturesque setting at Lisanisk Lake in Carrickmacross has been the centre of some very intense Angling Tuition for juniors, beginners and novice anglers for the last two weeks. The success of the events have highlighted a need for an alternative sport for those who may not be interested in playing other, more traditional, team sports. The stars of the week were undoubtedly the kids. They listened eagerly to their pre-fishing talks and then applied the theory of what they had learned with precision; the number of fish caught bears testament to their successful application of their leaning.
One young angler Ryan Crosby caught a whopping 147 fish for his week. A big well done to Ryan and to all of the other participants on their success!
All the anglers received certificates from the organisers on completion of their week’s tuition.
A big thank you must go to Inland Fisheries Ireland for their Sponsorship, to Liam Murray and Gerry Callan, Inland Fisheries Ireland, Development Creevy, Carrickmacross and to Brook Cottage Angling. Professional Angling Coaching was delivered by Geoff Quinn and his son James Quinn (also a Junior Angler).
Grateful thanks is also due to the members of Carrickmacross Coarse Angling and Junior Development Club who gave of their time and expertise. The future of angling looks very bright indeed due to the sterling efforts of all concerned.
