Coarse fishing tough on Leitrim lakes

670

Cavan CAC held their fourth league match of 25/26 on a Leitrim lake last weekend. Ten anglers fished, but weights were not great due to horrendous weather – but at least there were no blanks! Anthony Sparrow landed the golden peg, but unfortunately for him, he tied for 1st with Colin Moffitt. That’s the last match for 2025 for the Cavan club; they will resume in February, although there might be a Christmas match before the end of the year if there are enough willing participants.

  • 1st Anthony Sparrow/Colin Moffitt
  • Section A Gary Rogers
  • Section B Lee Symonds
Also in Leitrim were the CM Lakelands Club, who held an open feeder match on Houghtons shore, Lough Garadice, on Sunday. Fourteen anglers fished in cold conditions, and only a decent haul of skimmers got into the top 4. Mariusz Kilian won the match from peg 60, catching some nice skimmers and hybrids at distance to weigh 5.800 kg. 2nd overall was Nytro Angler Richard Pratt, who had a mixed bag of skimmers and roach fishing at distance to weigh 4.600 kg from peg 47. 3rd overall was Andy Butterfield, who caught some nice-sized skimmers to weigh 4.150 kg from peg 53. Irish Feeder boss Brenton Sweeney made up the top 4 with a weight of 3.900 kg of skimmers, roach and perch to get in the main frame.
