Andrius Bikelus has been in touch to let us know of a new ‘Trout Area Fishing’ league that he is running at Annaginny Fishery & Park Farm, near Dungannon in Northern Ireland. What is Area Fishing I hear some of you ask…, well it’s a type of competition fishing that originated in Japan, where anglers target fish with ultra light tackle and barbless hooks with an emphasis on proper handling and fish welfare.
It’s becoming a popular type of competition angling in other countries and you can learn a bit more about it here. If it’s something you are interested in joining up to then contact Andrius via this Facebook page. He’s also looking for a suitable venue to set up a similar league south of the border, so we’ll keep you posted if he manages to find one.
