Brian Nally reports on the final of the Annamoe Trout Fisheries Fly Fishing Winter League….
The Final of the Fly Fishing Winter League took place on Saturday 9th December.
The gale force winds made casting a fly very challenging however 80 rainbow trout were landed, measured and returned safely back into the lake. After four hours fishing the 19 competitors were glad to get into the shelter of the log cabin where the were treated to a light lunch of soup, sandwiches and cocktail sausages.
The trout were mainly caught on Buzzers , Damsel Lures , Twinkle Hares Ears and some home made patterns yet to be named.
Results
- 1st Stewart Mc Grane, 10 trout – 456cm.
- 2nd Reece Bannister, 11 trout – 450 cm.
- 3rd Joe Beadmore, 8 trout – 351 cm.
- 4th Tony Finn, 8 trout – 349 cm.
- 5th Derek Doyle, 8 trout – 342 cm.
All of the above received a prize along with Nicholas Madden who received a prize for landing the most trout during the series as he fished in all of the qualifying heats including the final.
Go fishing…
