There were 12 members of Ballybay Angling Association at Sunday’s knock up on Lough Egish in what can only be described as winter weather in the middle of summer.
Although conditions were tough most anglers opted for long pole short line. A few anglers also fished the whip and feeder method was also in use. The section used today has not been fished for almost a year by the club and they were unsure of how it would fish. Fishing was quite good with perch and some stunning roach up to 1lb being caught.
Results are as follows:
1st Tommy Dowd 10.000kgs
2nd Piotr Horbinski 9.850kgs
3rd Finnian Feeney 8.600kgs
Section wins went to Mariusz Kilian and Shamie Winters.
Well done to all who fished.
