A small group of anglers fished the last cast of the competitive fly fishing season on O’Flynn on Sunday 8th Sept. Once again a lot of the smaller fish were caught and released which once again illustrates the folly of putting them into the system something which will have to be discussed in the future.
Winners of the Heaviest fish challenge were as follows,
1st place Fish 1-lb 11.2 oz Junior Angler Gary Madden Castlerea.
2-nd place Fish 1-lb 09.2 oz Gerry Madden Ballinsloe.
3-rd place Fish 1-lb 08.8 oz. Mark Uniacke Loughrea.
Thanks to IFI for releasing the boats to us, and for their cooperation throughout the year it is much appreciated.

There are good stocks of wild and stocked brown trout averaging about 1.5 lbs with fish to 3 to 4lbs sometimes caught. This fishery is part of the Midland Fisheries Group of managed waters and anglers require a fishing permit (ticket charge) to fish which you can purchase a fishing permit ONLINE using your credit card or laser card or from from one of the outlets listed here: midland-permit.htm
