Portumna Coarse Angling Club fished a two day competition using the Sheebeen and the Salmon run over the weekend. Bill Cassidy had great fishing on day 1. Fishing the Salmon Run he put together a very impressive catch that weighed in at 34lb 06oz, about 5lbs ahead of Carl Woodhouse and more that 10lbs ahead of Padraig Smyth. The anglers on the Sheebeen also saw some great catches. Ian Kelsey weighed in 24lb 06oz and 5 more anglers broke the 20lb mark.
Day two saw all the anglers switch venue and the catches only got better. The best weight from the Sheebeen was 36lb and on the Salmon run Paul McCaul had an incredible 40lb 11oz! The top 4 anglers all weighed in over 50lb, a great testament to the River Shannon and the quality of the fishing at Portumna.

1st Paul McCaul 61lb 1oz
2nd Richard Bedford 57lb 7oz
