Dermot Page reports on the first qualifier of the  Rathcon Winter League, fished recently:

The 1st qualifier has just finished. 18 anglers landed 30 fish in tough conditions with a strong northerly wind. Pegs 8 and 9 fished the best and lures the most productive method. The biggest fish was 65cm with a couple of others over the 60cm also landed. The top five anglers go through to the final. Many thanks to Southside Angling for sponsoring a prize.

Go fishing…

Rathcon Lake is 8.5 acres and is stocked with top quality rainbow trout. The lake is fly fishing only and designed to allow maximum fishing so that 90% of the water can be covered. The average depth is 10ft with deep holes of up to 20ft in places. The fishery is open all year round and is home to a wide range of fly life, in particular buzzers, sedges, hawthorn and daddylonglegs, all providing excellent dry fly fishing, especially in the summer evenings.
