2013 Connacht TAFI Stillwater Championship
On Saturday the 16th of November 2013 the Connacht Branch of the Trout Anglers Federation of Ireland held the Connacht Stillwater Championship on Lough Na Leibe. The Ballymote and District Angling Association took great pride in the fact that Lough Na Leibe had been selected as the venue to host such an event.
At 10 a.m. the visiting anglers were met by Keith Coleman, Club Chairman and all the visiting anglers were welcomed to the locality. The field was made up of thirteen of the best fly anglers in the province. From the off Basil Shields was the first angler to net a 1kg rainbow trout and moments later he followed with another super trout. In total 35 rainbow trout were caught during the four hour match, with all fish returned alive. Winner on the day was Basil Shields with 10 Trout.
