Seventeen anglers turned out to fish three of the small developed lakes, Unshinagh (Gavin’s), Lyons and Killyfole at the weekend. The latter producing bream weights and 21.750kg on the feeder and pole for Francis McGoldrick on day one and subsequently a festival win. Tench were the dominant species caught on Lyons along with skimmers and Unshinagh producing decent nets of roach and perch.
The weekend festival had a prize fund of £1100 including sponsorship from Fermanagh and Omagh District Council and paid out the top five; In second place was CM Lakelands Feeder Club angler Neil Mazurek with 16.220kg and 3rd John Mcvey with 16.070kg. 4th was John Potters with 15kg and 5th East Belfast Coarse Angling Club angler Aaron Nabc Hutchman with 14.240kg.
These under-used lakes developed by DAERA as part of the Clones Erne East Blackwater project back in 2014 also include Drumacritten, Inver and Nayre and all make for a good days fishing.
