IFI’s Andy Burnett reports on the Carrigallen Festival…
The 2022 festival season around Leitrim/Cavan winds down for another year , with the last of the local festivals being the Carrigallen fished from 3rd – 7th October, 30 anglers from all over Ireland and the UK fished this final festival of the year in what can only be described as atrocious weather conditions with high water levels , driving rain and often gale force winds.
Despite this the fishing was very consistent across the venues used and produced some good fishing on several lakes much to everyone’s delight.
Overall winner was the ever consistent Lee Symonds , with a total of 51.750 kilos
- 1st Lee Symdons with 51.750 kilos
- 2nd Seamie Winters with 49.050 kilos
- 3rd Steven White with 48.400 kilos
- 4th Neil Parkinson with 45.650 kilos
- 5th John Potters with 45.350 kilos
