The Irish Trout Federation of Ireland held the Leinster championships on Owel recently in calm sunny conditions. Not the best conditions for fly fishing, but Owel produced the goods with 86 anglers recording 74 fish.

On the day Julie Gerry of Maynooth was top rod with 9lbs 4.6oz. Liam Cox was 2nd with 7lbs 11oz, 3rd Ken McCarthy 7lbs7.8oz, 4th Kieran Newman Mullingar, and 5th Colin Cahill of Killucan.
