In the shadows of the evening on a quiet Lough Sheelin, angler Philip Reid (Dargle anglers / Dublin trout Anglers) broke the silence as he hooked a fine fiesty 7lb trout.  Fishing companion Tadg Riordan netted the fish for Philip.   Dabbling with a Claret Stimulator in the surface wave off Crover shore, there was little stirring.  This was the only rise both anglers had seen as evening drew to a close on Thursday.

It won’t work if you aren’t wearing it…
 Water rarely gives second chances and a life jacket is just that – it saves your life, so we would implore anglers and all other users for their own safety as well as it being the law under
SI No 921 of 2005 – Pleasure Craft (Personal Flotation Devices and Operation) (Safety) Regulations 2005
