  1. 2013 Lough Lene Trial 1.9.13

    Posted on

    9 ladies attended the 3rd trial of the season on Lough Lene near Castlepollard

    A strong wind met us on the shore along with some wildfowlers and their dogs who had been out on the lake since 3 am for the first day of the shooting season

    The rainbows did not disappoint and were bow waving after both traditionals and lures.  The pike and perch obliged as well

    The ladies were very pleased to welcome Kristina - our newest member - to her first trial with us

    Many thanks to Tom Fagan and Lough Lene Anglers for looking after us so well

    Top Angler - Julie Gerry with 4 fish for 192 cms

    Top Boatman - Gerry Peppard who boated 5 fish for 237 cms for Hazel O'Gorman and Julie Gerry

  6. Lough Lene Trial 2012

    Posted on

    The first trial of 2012 was a fantastic day out.  It was a beautiful sunny spring day and the 8 women who went fishing managed to catch a total of 44 fish despite the cold wind.

    It was a pleasure to welcome Niamh Breen as the latest women to join the ILFA.  Niamh was out with Susan and managed to catch 2 fish on her first outing including one of 51 cms.  Well-done Niamh.

    It was a great day as you can see from the results sheet - we also did a "Spots and Stripes" Cadburys event - the Stripes won despite Julie being on the Spots team

              1st    Julie Gerry             16 fish
              2nd   Linda Straghan       9 fish
              3rd   Mary Murphy           7 fish

    The fish were really strong and fought extremely hard, many were overwintered and of 3lbs weight and more which made the fishing very exciting. 

    We had loads of great home made cakes to eat afterwards all supplied by Jenny's mum.  A very big thank you to her for making them, they were delicious and very welcome after a hard days fishing.  To end a great day out we then retired to the pub in Castlepollard for hot food and cups of tea and a good chat.

    Many thanks to Tom Fagan and Lough Lene Anglers for letting us fish their beautiful lake again; we always have a great day out on this very special lake.  Thanks also to all the boatmen for their expert advice and help during the day. 

     

    ANOTHER MEMORABLE DAY ON LOUGH LENE
