Dermot Page reports on the second leg of the Rathcon Winter League fished at the weekend…
16 December: The 2nd qualifier was held today. 18 anglers fished the 4 hour event. A total of 44 fish were landed. The unsettled weather over the weekend didn’t help and the anglers did well to tempt a few trout.
The results were:
- 1st Paul Kay – 8 fish
- 2nd Darius Simcus – 5 fish and the biggest at 63cm
- 3rd Alan Lawless – 5 fish
- 4th Hubert Smith – 4 fish
- 5th Vaidus Tiskus – 4 fish
Many thanks to Aidan, Martin and Ger for helping out and to Southside Angling for sponsoring a prize.
Go fishing…
Rathcon Lake is 8.5 acres and is stocked with top quality rainbow trout. The lake is fly fishing only and designed to allow maximum fishing so that 90% of the water can be covered. The average depth is 10ft with deep holes of up to 20ft in places. The fishery is open all year round and is home to a wide range of fly life, in particular buzzers, sedges, hawthorn and daddylonglegs, all providing excellent dry fly fishing, especially in the summer evenings.
