The Polish Anglers Northern Ireland Autumn Trapper Cup 2015 was fished on the lake Muckno (Black & Yellow Island) Sunday 08 November. The anglers met in the carpark of the “Old Coach Inn” at Castleblayney, where positions were drawn for the competitors and they were assigned to one of 3 zones. At registration 29 people from a number of countries turned up to fish. After disinfection of keepnets and gear the anglers went to their peg to prepare for the start of the competition.

The anglers were given the task to catch the greatest possible number of fish. After the end of the competition the fish were weighed, and for every gram of fish contestant received 1 point. All the fish caught were safely released into the water, in very good condition (Catch&Release). Methods used on the day included Feeder, Pole and Match style. The weather on Sunday was “interesting”. Rain and wind made for a difficult competition. Although Muckno is very productive it is not an easy fishing ground, and it can be hard to figure this water when you’re there for the first time. Luckily most of the anglers have already fished here at previous competitions.
