Michael Flanagan from Midland Angling reports on Lough Owel’s competition scene…

Andy Boyle is having a fantastic fly-fishing season on Owel, and in less that a week has picked up the Dan Mullally Shield and the Patti Doolin Shield. Once again teaming up with Angling partner Mick McCormack, Andy had a lovely trout of 1.53kg to take Top Rod.
