It was a mixed bag at the annual Wicklow Anglers’ Association weekend
On the angling front, the all-day affair on Saturday produced a mixed bag of results. For some, a fish or two, but for most it was blankety blank. Except for Tony Walsh who took the long drive from Gortmore at the top of the lake to Lively Bay at the other end.
Sunday’s outing was curtailed to 3pm and reduced to just one fish per angler. With conditions best described as ‘perfect’ only five fish were caught with three entered for weigh-in. Ronan Megren won the day with a fish 40.8cm at Ferrybridge. Results: Saturday: 1, T Walsh, 4 fish, 1.773kg; 2, C Maguire, 2f, 1,341pts; 3, P Crilly, 2f, 1,161pts. Sunday: 1, R Megren, 40.8cm; 2, P Beirne, 37.8cm; 3, C Newsome, 35cm.The All-Ireland NCFFI Canal Championships which reverted back to a two-day event this year attracted 24 anglers to contest the title. Dave Benson from Chorley, Lancashire took top honours with a good bag of roach and one tench for 10lb 2oz. Peter Nolan was second followed by Jimmy Kelly.
He pleaded guilty under the 1959 Fisheries Act 1959 and Bye Law No. 857 of 2009 and was fined €4,000. Three other charges were withdrawn.
