Bill Cassidy, chairman of the River Suck Angling Hub reports on the fishing on the Suck over weekend…
Rain, Sleet, Hailstones. Is it really May?

Although the fishing was difficult Donamon proved the place to be as you can see from our picture above.
Sunday saw( Mr Perch king) Ollie Doyle take a bit of a lead with a win mainly consisting of his usual big perch followed closely by Brenton Sweeney with a normal mixed bag.

Day 2 with a switch of sections showed a marked improvement in the fishing with Mark Leonard taking the honours with a nice bag of quality roach for 4 Kilo and 60 grams, Garry Doyle took second place with a few nice Roach and would you believe it a massive Perch.
Final results for the 2 days were.
- Festival winner Mark Leonard
- Runner up Ollie Doyle
- Joint 3rd Garry Doyle and Brenton Sweeney
Section winners were
- 2 section wins Larry Parkes
- Alan Marrable and Dara Finegan.
Well done to all and thanks to Rory Dunne who provided the raffle spot prize.
