Lough Arrow Anglers held their annual mayfly competition last Sunday. Check out their report below…
We held our annual mayfly competition on Sunday 17th last, with 50 anglers taking part, who were all hoping to win the Des McDonagh Perpetual Cup.
The day started off with a light wind, which dropped to flat calm conditions at lunchtime. However, it picked up again after an hour, much to the delight of the dappers. There were great hatches of greens throughout the day, but as it was bitterly cold very few spent went out.
Well done to all the anglers who took part, in particular, of course, to those who caught fish. Results are as follows:
- Ken Murray – 3 fish
- Paul Colreavy – 2 fish
- Graham Brown – 1 fish
- Mata Ferguson – 1 fish
- Gerry Kelly- 1 fish
- Emmett Mc Williams – 1 fish
- Paul Casey – 1 fish
- Paddy Carr – 1 fish
- Gerry Martin – 2 fish
- 10 Paul Mc Tiernan – 1 fish
The prize for the best fish was won by Graham Brown and the top lady angler was Sarah Maxwell.
Thanks to Mary McDonagh for presenting the cup, to Philip and Ellie for hosting the prize-giving, not forgetting Sally behind the bar. Thanks also to everyone who supported our competition.
Finally, after very cold temperatures so far into the month, we can look forward to the warmer weather which has been forecast for the coming week. This should result in good spent fishing from the continued excellent hatches of greens.
Tight lines, bent rods and keep casting!
