Billy wins the Mayfly Cup!

Boyle & District Angling Clubs Annual Mayfly competition was fished two weeks ago.

Billy Reid caught the biggest fish of the day, a fine trout weighing over 4 pound, thus winning the Odbert Cup.

Also shown is joe mulrennan with his trout of the day.

Well Done!

Nice catch!

Marie Finnegan from Brosna Co. Kerry, caught this fine brown trout during the Easter Pike Festival on Lough Key.
The fish weighed in just under 11lbs. and was subsequently released again. I am sure many of you will agree, this is truly a magnificent looking fish, and certainly the biggest trout caught here in a long time.
Also shown is Marian Leahy who also caught a trout of around 2.5lbs.
Thanks to Patrick Leahy for sending us the photos.
