Early tench and big perch make for a thrilling final at Athy

The Athy & District Anglers report on the final match of their Winter League fished on 19 February…

In the heart of Athy, the Marina Club grounds played host to the thrilling culmination of the 2023 Winter League for the Athy and District Anglers Club. Due to the River Barrow swelling with floodwaters, the competition was relocated, but this change of venue didn’t dampen the spirits of the avid anglers who converged for the final match.

The day dawned with the promise of spring, surprising participants with unexpected sunshine that bathed the Marina Club grounds in a warm glow. Anglers, clad in anticipation and armed with their gear, gathered at 8:30 for a day that would prove to be a highlight in the angling calendar.

Athy

A dozen enthusiastic participants answered the call, each eager to test their skills in the final showdown of the Winter League. At 8:45, pegs were drawn, and the anglers wasted no time setting up their gear, their excitement palpable as they prepared for the challenge ahead.

The atmosphere crackled with anticipation as the all-in call came at 10 am, heralded by the experienced voice of Des. Anglers, with baited breath, eagerly cupped in bait and set their lines, hoping for a productive day on the waters. However, the initial moments saw a slow start, teasing the competitors with a bit of suspense.

Within 30 minutes, the narrative took a turn, with many anglers finding success in their pursuits. Chris, Ryan, Jimmy, Tommy, and Keith emerged as early stars, showcasing their angling prowess by landing some excellent tench after engaging in intense battles with these powerful fish. The Marina came alive with the sight of tench, a testament to the health of the waters.

Roach, too, made their presence felt, as they eagerly responded to the offerings from the anglers. The camaraderie among the pegs was vibrant, with banter echoing across the Marina, creating an atmosphere of friendly competition.

Fergal landed a phenomenal Perch, over 2lbs in weight! A beautiful specimen that fought like a demon on the way in.

However, not every moment was one of triumph. Chris, in particular, faced the heartbreak of losing two exceptional tench right at the bank, a result of hooklinks snapping.

As the clock ticked towards 3:30 pm, the ‘all out’ call marked the conclusion of a day filled with angling adventures. The final weigh-ins revealed fantastic weights, with more than half of the anglers boasting double-digit hauls.

In total, over 130lbs of fish were caught, underscoring the skill and dedication of the Athy and District Anglers Club members.

Results

  1. Ryan – 20lb 4ozs
  2. Jimmy – 17lb 6ozs
  3. Chris – 14lb 8ozs
  4. Tommy – 12lb 6ozs
  5. Barry – 12lb 4ozs

Overall League Results

Public Consultation on Inshore Trawling – Make Your Submission

By
Kevin Crowley
-

The Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine has opened a public consultation on trawling activity inside the 6 nautical mile zone and the baselines.

The baseline and 6 mile limit of Ireland’s waters.

Readers may recall that several years ago, following a public consultation, the Minister banned trawlers over 18 metres from trawling inside this area, which would have ended the practice of pair trawling for sprat by large vessels, which has been the subject of much controversy in recent years. The ban was struck down by a High Court appeal, subsequently upheld by the Appeal Court, and pair trawling and inshore trawling by large fishing vessels has continued in the meantime.

European sprat (Source: www.fishsource.org)

European sprat is a fundamental part of the marine food chain, as it links between
zooplankton and top predators (fish, birds and marine mammals). Removing large quantities of sprat may adversely impact on species dependent on them, from mackerel and inshore fish species up to humpback whales.  Many of the inshore areas trawled for sprat are protected sites designated under the Birds and Habitats Directives, and many more will be designated Marine Protected Areas in the future.

The briefing documents provided by the Department are informative, and outline many of the benefits that a ban on pair trawling inside 6nm would have. These include:

  • Improved economic opportunity for smaller sea-fishing boats
  • Reduced environmental impact from trawling
  • Re-establishing links between local fish resources, local fleets and local economies
  • Reduced conflicts between mobile and static fishing gears
  • Improving availability of fish in inshore waters
  • Protection of fish recruitment and stock components
  • Improved management of inshore waters

These briefing documents are available online, and should be read before making a submission. Sea anglers, and indeed anglers in general, may be very interested in seeing greater protection of inshore fish stocks, and are encouraged to contribute their views.

If you would like to have your view taken into account, the public submission is open until 1pm on the 12th of April 2024.

Further information, briefing documents and how to make your submission are available online here: https://www.gov.ie/en/consultation/0e523-public-consultation-on-trawling-activity-inside-the-six-nautical-mile-zone-and-the-baselines/ 

 

Dogfish the difference at GBSAC Renvyle competition

Renvyle Stony Beach in the near distance

Galway Bay Sac held the first leg of the 2024 Winter League at Renvyle on Saturday 17th. After a wet morning, the weather cleared up nicely to leave a mild, overcast evening. The beach is very sheltered, so even though paddle surfers could be seen in the distance riding some nice waves, the venue itself was almost flat calm.

Kevin O’Hara with a dogfish

Fishing was quiet early on, with just single dogfish coming for Gary and Danny Harty. As darkness fell, hopes were high that fish would move in, but fishing continued to be slow.  Further down the beach, Brian Reidy was picking up a couple of fish, and Kevin O’Hara was getting the odd dogfish.

Brian Reidy with a double shot of flounder and a coalie

The third hour saw Kevin Crowley hit a run of dogfish, having blanked the first 2 hours. Brian Reidy down the beach was also getting a few fish, including flounder, coalies, rockling and dogs.

Brian Reidy had a shore rockling for the species hunt

However, Kevin landed another couple of dogs and a coalie in the last hour to take the win with 10 fish for 481 points. Brian Reidy was second with 6 fish for 202, and Kevin O’Hara third with 3 dogs for 150 points. Danny Harty and Rian McDermott were first and second in the Junior section.

There are 3 more legs of the winter league to come, and with the best 3 of 4 scores to count, there is still time for anyone to join in.  Check the club info below for details.

Behind the scenes with George McGrath and Carp on fly at Oaklands

By

George McGrath

Dan O’Neill had a change of scenery and a look behind the scenes at the weekend as well as trip out fishing and sad loss…

Delighted that the time is moving on and closer to the 17th of March. Some aspects of winter I will miss but there are many aspects of spring / summer that I am looking forward to. As the season gets closer I reflect a bit on the previous year. Wondering will the runs and glides fish differently this season, looking forward to meeting all the people I will get to take out, listen to their wonderful stories and hopefully get to catch a few fish while doing so, wonderful times lay ahead.

George McGrath in the studio

This week I had planned to meet George Mcgrath from YouTube channel Gundog and Fly. This trip would be a little different than our previous meetings as when we meet usually its at fairs where we would both get to say a quick hello and then be on our way to talk to people about the wonderful world of angling which is very enjoyable as we get to share stories and hear some interesting ones to. I  was dropping down to see George with my youngest apprentice Daniel for a chat about fishing this week. Once I arrived we went around to George’s studio. When watching Georges videos I always wanted to see the studio. Looking around it was a collection of rods, reels, feathers, many many many hooks and of course George. When it comes to fishing many who know me will tell you “He never knows when to shut up” and they are right. However, George’s knowledge and view on fishing is just amazing, it silenced me (for once). Listening to the way he described his approach to trout on the rivers he fished began building a picture for me and as he told his story I felt I was at the river’s edge with him. It was an amazing journey. I really look forward to going for a cast with George during the season. I did attempt one of Georges signature “sparkle duns” but unfortunately this one didn’t make the cut, which was strategic as now I must go back down to try again and hear some more stories of Georges adventures.

George McGrath

With some of George’s words echoing in my head on accuracy and paying attention to the fish’s behaviour I really needed to get out with a dry fly. Anthony wanted to hit Oaklands which is a fishery I am very fond of for many reasons but two main reasons. One the people who run Oaklands are genuine and encourage the angling youth strongly. Two, the location and fish are just superb fun and watching the carp move about really got Anthony excited and ready for action. After spending a long time looking around the tackle shop, we hit the lake. My two rods of choice were my Cadence 10ft pellet waggler and 9ft 9 8wt Cadence fly rod. Anthony also had his pellet waggler and the 12ft Cadence specimen rod for carp.

Oaklands – carp on fly and more

After a nice walk along the lake edge, we chose our peg which was peg 24. There were carp showing themselves all along our peg and to the right and left of us. We lightly ground baited to see what kind of response we got from the fish. After a few mins the float dipped and we began to get plenty of, bream, roach and rudd. The carp were a little higher up and I decided to put on a bubble head Caddis. I watched the fish in groups of 3 – 5. I wanted to target these groups as I felt they would compete for my offering giving me a better chance. I watched a particular group of fish and cast to them. They immediately dropped down in the water so I had missed my shot here. So, time for a “strat”. As I watched closer the carp were taking the same lines of travel on each patrol. I decided to cast to these lines well ahead of the fish.

Making my next cast I targeted one of the lines. The carp approached and one flicked his pectorals, reversed a little, pushed with his nose and refused it, thinking I missed my chance I watched the last carp of the group do the same thing, but this one opened his mouth and took in my fly. I lifted into the fish which dived for bottom as the hook set. The fight was on. I gained some line back quite quickly which was stripped back out just as fast. It was a really enjoyable battle that resulted in a lovely carp being netted by Anthony for a change. Anthony of course wanted to try one on the fly and soon enough had a lovely mirror carp of his own.

We really enjoyed our day at Oaklands where we got to use many different methods and catch some wonderful fish. We will no doubt be back there very soon.

Pat Hughes – a rememberence

Pat Hughes
Unfortunately, this week we lost a very dear friend and fellow APGAI Ireland member. Mr Pat Hughes held an advanced status in casting and assessed me for my APGAI Ireland casting exam. I also attended some shows with Pat, always managing to gain information. His knowledge and wisdom was infectious. Often, we would speak on the phone about casting and all things fishing.

I will truly miss Pat and his wise words but the words I received from my time with Pat I will never forget. Strangely enough I had a dream the night he passed away that we were all in Banbridge angling centre where I first met Pat. We were of course speaking of casting and having a general chat and good time as if it was a final farewell. Rest in peace Pat.

Irish Angling Update 16 February 2024 🎣

By
IFI Staff
-

It has been another wet winter’s week, with above average rainfall everywhere. The driest location compared to the climatological average was at Belmullet in County Mayo, although it wasn’t dry at all with 25.7mm of rainfall, 107% of the average. With this in mind, it has been another long, dark winter for trout and salmon anglers, who have to sit through the annual closed season patiently and watch on as coarse, pike and sea anglers get their fishing fix throughout the winter.

Trout and salmon fisheries have been opening in stages though, as they do, and this week many trout anglers finally got their fix, as Corrib, Mask, Conn and a whole host of other fisheries – both river and lough – opened for trout angling around the country on Thursday, February 15th.

It is on Lough Corrib that we begin this week’s angling report, where opening day conditions this year were relatively benign, a mild overcast day with light to moderate southwest breezes and the odd passing shower – perfect for early season fishing! Angling guide Jasper Matthews didn’t take long brushing off the cobwebs as he landed a smashing ferox trout – estimated at 15lbs or more – on the troll.

On the salmon scene we have a couple of ‘first fish’ for 2024 to report. Tomas Ryan from Cong headed to the Bundorragha river for a morning’s fishing on February 11th, and he managed to hook and land a beautiful fish of 15lbs or so on a Willie Gunn – a great fish for Delphi to get off the mark for 2024. Conditions have been more or less perfect since opening and fishery manager David McEvoy expects more fish to follow soon. On Lough Currane, the first salmon of their season fell to Tommy Duggan of Kilkenny on February 15th, as he fooled an 8lbs fish on the fly.

First Delphi fish of 2024 is released

Plenty of action this week for the predator anglers out there as pike are feeding well before the spawning season. The Limerick County Pike Anglers headed to Roscommon where a fine 18lbs fish was the highlight of their club competition. Nineteen of the Newbridge and District Pike Anglers took part in their club event, where trying conditions saw just nine pike landed – but the disappointing lack of fish was offset by the craic and banter of meeting up for the first time in 2024. Young Anthony O’Neill was back on the banks of the Barrow canals again this week with his private fishing guide – this time they tested out their rods with plump perch and well fed pike. Early starter Stephen McDonagh travelled to a Cavan lake in his latest search for a specimen – his most recent upload on the Fishing with Steve YouTube channel talks us through the action.

Plump pike for Anthony

Winter leagues are nearing their final rounds for the coarse anglers out there and it hasn’t been an easy winter for good weights. With everywhere flooded and a rising river, it was back to the old faithful section at the rowing course at O’Briensbridge for the Munster Coarse Anglers, where big numbers of small silvers was the winning formula. The Erne Anglers had to contend with a fast flowing River Erne for round 7 of their league, with very cold water due to the recent snow melt and, over in Monaghan, the CM Lakelands Club had Damian Foltyn continue his great run on Lough Muckno.

Many small silvers please

To the tides now and skipper Sean Maguire has a new boat in the water for the 2024 season – the Isle of Aran. Sean and a crew got out on the Shannon Estuary for a few hours to christen the new boat, and that they did, with some nice ray, dogs and whiting. Wicklow skipper Kit Dunne has published his report from the 2023 season, recording 30 different species and 79 specimen fish overall – not too bad at all Kit! Rebels SAC were back in Monatrae for their third outing of 2024 where they welcomed some new members to their club, but the biggest sea angling event in the past week was the Irish Federation of Sea Anglers Master Angler 2024 event in the south east. When all the cards were marked after the last of three sessions, Fiona Ryan from Tralee Bay SAC and David Farrelly from South Shore SAC were crowned Master Angler 2024. Both Fiona and David will go on to captain the Irish teams at their next world championships – congratulations to them.

For the book club this week we have news that, after selling out much quicker than anticipated, the Irish Specimen Fish Atlas is back on sale and you can pick up a copy on the ISFC web shop here. The Fish Atlas is a production of the Irish Specimen Fish Committee who have compiled the data gathered over many years of specimen awards and the good news is that the Irish Specimen Fish Committee Annual Report for 2023 has also now been published, with both online and hard copy versions available.

For the podcast addicts we have an Ireland on the Fly double whammy this week as Tom and Daire talk about fishing in the early season and why wet fly tactics work for guide Dave O’Donovan on the Awbeg River. The Ireland on the Fly team are also launching the first of a new monthly Masterclass webinar series on March 14th with Mike Keady on Early Season Buzzer Tactics – so don’t forget to sign up to that!

In other news…

We’d like to give a special mention this week to Philip Gordon of the Lough Ree Lanesborough Angling Hub who is the County Roscommon winner of the Federation of Irish Sport Volunteers in Sport Awards 2023. 

Philip has been an angling coach for over 30 years in Ballyleague, Lanesborough and Athlone – and this award recognises his outstanding contribution to the sport – especially in the area of youth coaching.

Inland Fisheries Ireland are proud to have sponsored novice coaching events organised by Philip and the Lough Ree hub over the years – as well as hundreds of other events held by clubs all over the country – and without the volunteers, like Philip, who work tirelessly to promote youth coaching and novice events up and down the country (not to mention open days, competitions, festivals, national teams, club events and all the rest) Irish angling would be in a much worse place today.

So this week our Catch of the Week goes to all of those fish caught thanks to the efforts of Philip and the countless other volunteers around the country who make these events happen – a big thank you to all.

And now the weather…

Cloud will thicken from the west on Friday night with patchy light rain and drizzle spreading countrywide and increasing from the west towards morning. Lows of 4°C to 9°C in southerly winds.

A largely dry start in the east on Saturday but rain will spread countrywide by the afternoon in fresh southwesterly winds. Highs of 10°C to 13°C. Further rain overnight on Saturday, heavy in some areas. Mist will form in places, lows of 8°C to 10 °C.

Sunday will be a drier but showery day with spells of sunshine developing. Highs of 11°C to 14°C in light to moderate westerly winds. More rain is forecast for Sunday night. A mostly dry Monday and Tuesday with showers. Some bright or sunny spells but mainly cloudy. Highs of 9°C to 12°C. More rain is predicted for the mid-week period.

Make sure to check the forecast before going afloat and if you’re going to sea, don’t forget to check the tides.

Safe fishing to all and tight lines, especially here in Ireland.

Sea Trout – Catch and release only

Inland Fisheries Ireland wishes to remind anglers that the Conservation of Sea Trout (No.7 or Kerry District) Waterville Area Bye-Law No. 971 of 2019 remains in effect. This Bye-law prohibits the retention and possession of any sea trout (Salmo trutta L.) taken by any fishing engine or by rod and line in the Waterville area i.e. that part of the sea eastward of a line drawn from the most westerly point of Bolus Head to the most westerly point of Lamb’s Head and to all the waters discharging in to it.

The Bye-Law mainly affects seatrout fishing on :-

  • the river Inny (Knockmoyle) and its tributaries
  • the waters of the Waterville system, including the Waterville River, Lough Currane, the Cummeragh River and all their tributary rivers and lakes
  • the waters of Ballinskelligs Bay

FLEKSI

A new online survey has been developed by IFI for the Currane catchment to gather anglers’ knowledge – the survey method called FLEKSI was developed by IFI to help give an insight into the status of the fishery. Currane Anglers are needed for Citizen Science survey to examine fish stocks
