OPENING DAY....

I find it very difficult to write this week angling report, as  my mind keeps flashing to the opening day of our wild brown trout season which starts today March 1st. Over the weekend plenty of boats were seen heading towards our local lakes. I hope to travel to Lough Lene for the opening day. Mind you its going to be very cold and you would be advised to wrap up well for the 1st, and don't forget your life-jacket. The lakes are a little low at the moment, but I have no doubt some super trout will be caught over the coming days. If your a River Angler the Brosna is very low, but is in great condition for trotting a worm of two. I walk the Brosna quite often with my dogs and have seen some super trout. Angling Focus wishing all fellow anglers a successful opening day, and hopefully we will here some "Screaming Reels".. 

LOUGH ENNELL....

Last Friday night February 24th Lough Ennell Trout Preservation Association held a committee meeting. The meeting was adjourned for 15minutes as a mark of respect for the late President  Mr Sean Downes who sadly passed away last year. Sean will be sadly missed by Lough Ennell Anglers, and I am sure tributes will be pouring in on March 29th when the club hold their A.G.M. in the Greville Arms Hotel. 

WESTMEATH STUDENT NEEDS ANGLERS HELP....

Recently I had a meeting with UCD student Sorcha O'Brien from Ballymahon Road, Athlone. Sorcha is carrying out a Zebra Mussel Control Initiative Survey and is looking for some help on gathering info on her chosen subject. When completed the survey will help her with completion of a Masters in world Heritage & Management with University Collage Dublin and Unesco Paris. At present Sorcha is targeting Angling clubs who have their A.G.M. coming up. If you feel like helping out Sorcha with her survey she would be delighted to hear from you. The 6th March is deadline for Surveys. You can complete this survey ONLINE if you prefer
