VERY GOOD RESULT

This is competition time on
our midland managed trout lakes. The Mc Entyre Guider Cup
competition was fished on Sheelin on Saturday 26th and upcoming next Saturday Oct 3rd is the L.S.T.P.A. Annual Stream
Rehabilitation competition. Lough Owel continues to fish very
well. The national qualifier was fished on Owel on Saturday
26th of September which yielded 163 fish to 129 anglers. Salmon
fishing ended on a quiet note with low water after the dry spell of
the past few weeks. Prospects for trout fishing remain good
for now. TIGHT LINES!
NB: Salmon anglers please be aware that you are required by
law to return all logbooks and all unused carcass tags using the
addressed envelope that came with your licence. The deadline for

LOUGH OWEL
Week ending 27th
September, 2009
Lough Owel is fishing
very well, best time late evening from 6pm onwards.
Fishing an intermediate sink line using regular Owel
wetflies appears to be getting the desired result.
The I.T.F.F.A. national qualifier was fished on Owel
on Saturday last 26th of September 2009. 129 anglers
entered the event. 123 anglers turned up to fish on
the day. The was a very good result with 59 anglers
weighing in 163 fish for a total weight of 247lbs.
Colm Cahill, Mullingar was the winner with the
heaviest bag of 7lbs 9ozs. Mick Mc Cormack was
second with a bag weight of 7lbs 7ozs. Even though
angling conditions on the lake were not ideal on the
day, the result was still very good. Prospects look
promising for the next few days.
