This report from the National Coarse Fishing Federation of Ireland (NCFFI):
We had another fantastic session today as Round 2 of our Development Days took place at Gaulmoylestown Lake. It was great to welcome back our young anglers already on the pathway, as well as meet some enthusiastic newcomers keen to get involved and develop their skills.
This session included a fun, inclusive match for all participants, with some impressive angling on display throughout the day. Well done to everyone!
Our next event will take place at Oaklands Lake on July 19th, and we’re looking forward to seeing you there. With experience growing among the group, we encourage all participants to join our upcoming events dedicated to young anglers—an ideal introduction to the competitive angling scene.

Reserve your place now at one of the upcoming Youth Events:
