Margaret Gorman from Cong Self-Catering & Boat Hire was in touch to report on good fishing for some of their guests, as well as a landmark catch for one of her youngest. Karl Gorman, aged 6, caught his first fish ever on Sunday and he was so excited.   He caught two fish and returned another one.   Twin brother Ronan caught some fish too, but this is the first for this year.   He caught one fish and returned another one.
