There were some incredible pole weights on Lough Sillan for the Cootehill Festival last week!
The scaled down version of the Cootehill Championships was run by CM Lakelands Feeder Club and anglers fished the Caravan Park and Deeps as well as fishing Monaghan venues Mullinary and White Lough at Bairds Shore. All anglers enjoyed some great pole and whip fishing with significant catches of roach and hybrids.
Congratulations to the winner Tony Hopkins who broke the 30kg barrier on Wednesday and finished the festival with 97.7kg.
