While some young anglers were getting to grips with the art of fly casting at Kilineer reservoir on Friday evening 16th May, around 40 additional youngsters were busy catching fish at Barnattin reservoir on spinner and bait. As usual the banks were lined with enthusiastic youngsters accompanied by parents, dads and mums, grand dads, grans and uncles and big brothers. They had all given their time to take the youngsters out fishing, to “give angling a go“. Some of the attendees had been at the information days and had never caught a fish before. This is before this evening. By evenings end all of the budding young anglers would have caught some fish and isn’t that what Fisheries Awareness Week is all about. Both the Kilineer event and the Barnattin event were open to all and were hosted Drogheda and District Anglers.
