with a nice pike caught in the Upper Shannon region recently. EUROPEAN PIKE ANGLING CHALLENGE KICKS OFF THIS WEEK AT KILLALOE Trout fishing will soon be over and anglers will direct their attentions to the autumn and winter Piking season, with several competitions scheduled to whet their interest. We hope to get all the up to date news on these in due course. Boyle and District Angling Club members headed for Lough Gara earlier in the month to fish for the Paddy Kelly Perpetual Memorial cup. Fishing improved after a slow start. The upper River Suck Valley was bank high up to Thursday and most angling stands were under water. The river has been dropping since and slowly getting back to normal as we write. There are a number of overseas visitors Pike fishing on the Shannon in the Shannonbridge area. Some of these anglers had success, even in the rising waters. Heading south, the Pikefly competition was fished on the Shannon out of Killaloe on Saturday and was won by Irish angler Tommy Conway. The European Pike Angling Challenge kicked off this week. We will publish the results on Friday as there is one more day to go. A full report will follow next week, so watch this space. TIGHT LINES!

On Sunday the 5th of September Boyle and District Angling Club headed for Lough Gara and fished for the Paddy Kelly Perpetual Memorial cup. The late Paddy Kelly hailed from Memphis and was a one time owner of the Memphis bar (formerly the railway bar) on Elphin street. During his short stay in Boyle Paddy make good friends with the Boyle and District Angling Club. Anyone familiar with our Easter angling competition will be aware that it was Paddy that started the barbecue and cooking facilities at the competition for us back in 2002. In 2003 he presented the club with the Paddy Kelly Cup. Paddy left Boyle to return to Memphis in October 2004 and before he left he offered the club the chance to buy the now famous barbecue. Sadly shortly after returning to Memphis Paddy passed away and we now honour his memory annually with the fishing of the Paddy Kelly Perpetual Memorial Cup. This year a total of 29 anglers took part in the competition on a breezy but sunny day. fishing was slow to start but as the day wore on there were some good catches recorded. The biggest number of fish caught on the day by one angler was four, by John Keenehan which moved him closer to the top of the table for the angler of the year award. The heaviest of John's fish also netted him 3rd place. Joe Mulrennan also moved up the league table with two good catches the heaviest of which gave him second place in the competition. The winner for the second time having also won in 2004
and now leading the angler of the year league was Jim Clarke with two
catches on the day the heaviest weighting over 10lbs. Jim has a habit
of winning club competitions over the years and is always thereabouts
at the end of the season when it comes to lifting the angler of the
year award. With three Competition remaining and some of the more
seasoned anglers not recording over the weekend it looking like an
exciting finish to our angling year.
