The Dublin Trout Anglers’ Association held their Ryder Cup on Bohernabreena Reservoir on Saturday, September 7th. Fifteen anglers turned out for the day with most returning no fish in very tough conditions. The top three rods did manage five trout between them though, with Alan Doherty finishing in first place on 2 fish for 2.8lbs. Fran Nugent was second, he also had 2 fish but they weighed in a half pound lighter (2.3lbs). Dave Canning finished third with one fish. It was Alan’s first DTAA competition win (he’s often placed well in previous competitions however, so this comes as no surprise!).
With just one competition remaining this season, Dave Canning has a very good lead on nearest rival Alan Doherty on the overall leaderboard. There is a route to victory for Alan, and indeed for Eoin Dunne (to tie with Dave on 32 points) but Dave must be the bookies favourite! Current leaderboard is below. Next competition is the McCarron on Owel on Saturday 28th September.
