SAVAGE TROUT CAUGHT ON OWEL

The Monasterevin Anglers were back on Owel last Saturday for their annual competition.  We have featured the club members over the years as they honor one of their past members Timmy Meredith. On the day they fish what is known as “Timmy’s Day” and this year the fishing was tough, but the club members had a fantastic day out.

There was great excitement on Church Island at lunch time as club member Rob Hughes arrived in with a huge Owel trout just over 9lbs. Its one of the biggest trout we have featured in Angling Focus, caught on Owel and I reckon there is more savage fish in Owel.
