Mick Flanagan reports on the Gibson/Daly competition fished recently on Lough Derravaragh…
Derravaragh Anglers hosted the Gibson/Daly trout fly-fishing competition last Sunday April 16th, and some beautiful wild brown trout were caught. Not many anglers ventured out, but eleven fish were weighed and released on the day.


Kieran Evans was top rod with a lovely fish of 2lbs 13oz, with Tony Kenny 2nd 2lbs 4oz, and Christy Cox 3rd with 1lbs 13oz.
Presentation took place at Donore Shore, and club Chairman Liam Gilsenan thanked all who supported the competition, and was delighted with the number of fish caught on the day.
