Lough Muckno Matches and Festivals group Presents their calendar of events for 2019…

With some less than expected or deserved numbers on some of our Festivals in 2018, we have ,made a few minor changes in 2019, with the temporary excusion of one Festival, and date changes to another, in order to maximise the availability to our most sought after audience`, from Mainland UK.

Strong indications now show that a resurgence in lough Muckno interest is very much on the cards for 2019, with a number of Fetivals already nearly booked out, at a cap of 50 anglers on each Festival, for this coming year at least.

Another change for 2019 is the mandatory prebooking policy now being adopted, in order to make these Festivals better and more attractive for everyone, not least the competitors, who will now know the stature of the event when booking, be assured of a fantastically competitive environment, with loads of fish in a well spaced setting, with big numbers big sponsorship, and with big Festival status by any standards in Irish Festival Angling terms.

We will offer the unique Lough Muckno range of add on attractions in 2019 in the safest, cleanest, most accessible and fair setting, in Festival angling anywhere in Ireland or beyond.
All intending competitors wishing to enter any Festival are now asked to PM this page signalling your interest in any Festival of your choice. and we will then make arrangements for your easy transfer of a non refundable but transferable deposit.

A huge interest is already evident at this stage on all 2019 Festivals so please check in as soon as possible to ensure your place on some of the most exciting Fishing and competition anywhere.
Please note that all 2018 competitors on these festivals will have first preference in the 2019 bookings and many have already signalled their intentions to book for 2019, along with several old favourites, making a welcome return.

The penultimate development project envisaged for this mighty Lough is nearing completion at South Lodge and should come on stream before Christmas when the Lough Muckno Matches and Festivals group will host an opening Coarse Angling Match Open to all on a first booked first served basis to mark the occasion.

More information on our 2019 Festivals and the completion of the south lodge Section will issue in posts on this page over the coming weeks.

Dermot Page reports on thefirst leg of the Rathcon Winter League final fished earlier this month…

The first qualifier of the 2019 winter league was fished on November 4th. There were 18 anglers out and a total of 38 fish landed over the 4 hours with plenty also lost. There was little wind which made the fishing challenging and the buzzers came into their own in the early afternoon. The top five anglers qualified for the final next year.

The results were:

1st Martin McGorian – 5 fish
2nd Carl Owens – 5 fish
3rd Ger Fogarty – 5 fish
4th Aidan Heffernan – 4 fish (biggest fish 57cm)
5th Glen McGrave – 3 fish

Many thanks to Southside Angling for sponsoring a prize.

Sheemore Anglers report on their winter league…

The third winter league match was on Albert Lock today and it fished very well. Catches were well up on round 2 which was fished at Cloonahee at the start of the month. Catches were made up of big numbers of smaller fish but even though the fish were at bit on the small side it was an enjoyable competition. Brian Bohan had over 300 roach for his second place weight of 18.07lb.

Francis McGoldrick 20.01lb
Brian Bohan. 18.07 lb
Gavin Brown. 16.09lb
Bill Cassidy. 15.06lb
Gary Chandler. 14.10lb
Robert Howgate. 14.01lb
Micheal Fitzpatrick. 13.08lb
Joe van der spek. 13.05lb
Dave Oddy. 12.10lb
Stuart Greene. 12.06lb
Ray Carpenter. 11.01lb
Andrew Riley. 7.12lb

So some good weights all round and well done to Francis for also winning the golden peg today. The biggest fish was Joe van der Speck’s perch of about a pound.

Sheemore anglers — Last week at a club match also fished at Albert Lock, Brian drew peg 5 and had over 200 fish for 34 lb and a match win.
