Lindsey Clarke reports  from LOUGH MELVIN – Monday 8th  to Sunday 21st August 2016 (2 weeks).

Lough Melvin was fairly quiet this week over the fortnight with very few rods fishing for salmon. The trout fishing, mainly for Sonaghan, was fairly good however with some nice bags reported on some days. On Sunday the 21st, the Garrison & Lough Melvin Anglers Association held the 3rd and final leg of the Tony O’Brien Cup fished out of Garrison Pier. There were some nice catches on the day and the Pairs Competition was won by Lawrence Gibb and Stephen Collins with a fine catch of 12 Sonaghan. Placed 2nd were Stephen & Willie Kirk and in 3rd place were Sean & Darren Maguire. Lawrence Gibb was awarded the Tony O’Brien cup for 2016 for the best overall catch over the 3 legs of the competition.
