COARSE FISHING AT A STANDSTILL AS THE COUNTRY
IS GRIPPED IN A BIG FREEZE
Coarse fishing has been at a standstill for several weeks. The present big
freeze has left canals, backwaters and some marinas frozen. Driving conditions
are hazardous with temperatures struggling to rise above zero during daytime and
dipping to as low as -12C in sheltered areas at night time.
We wish to announce that the Irish Specimen Fish Committee have published their
annual report 2009 on specimen fish verified over the year. The Shannon
region featured in the report - East Clare lakes, Inny system and Lough Ree. The
report can be downloaded
