Sunday, December 10th, was the third round of the AWOL league which was held in Ardaire Springs Angling Centre in Kilkenny. This round of the league was sponsored by Peter Driver of Piscarifly and Ned Maher of Ardaire Springs.
Conditions were good for the seventeen participating anglers in the morning session, but after 2 hours the wind started to howl.
Despite the gusting wind, 88 trout were brought to the net, where as per competition rules, they were length measured while in the net, then released. There were some very big fish caught and to no ones surprise Shane Bird caught the biggest of the day – and the biggest one so far this league at a whopping 69cm.
League members would like to thank Ned Maher and family for the use of their fishery to run other event and many thanks to everyone that took part on the day.
When the scores were tallied it was very tight at the top, with only 2 fish between fifth and first.
Results are as follows.
