Paddys Day Comp

Hi
All the Paddy's day comp was fished on the 16th of March this year, the weather was fine and the river had dropped a little from the 1st day of the season which made water conditions quite good on the day. There was the usual good turn out nothing like sausage & rasher sambos to tempt fishermen out of their winter slumber. Most caught fish and all went home happy. Kevin Tipper won with a 14 inch trout with Gianluca hot on his heals with a 13 inch fish in second. Well done lads. Heres a few pics taken on the day to wet your appetite before the Hawthorn Cup.

1st of March

Hi All
The first of March has been and gone and the Leixlip anglers were treated to a lovely sunny day with water levels at a low enough level to be able to wade it, albeit rather slowly.
All the usual suspects were out and all enjoyed their days fishing with most catching a fish or 2 all went home happy.
The river was both higher & colder than normal for this time of year measuring 600mm at the measuring stick at the distillery bridge and being only 6 degrees it was a stark contrast from last year when it was 400mm and 10 degrees, we can't win all the time.
In other news our Trout League Champion Kevin Tipper finally got his hands on his trophy last night when it was presented to him by our Chairman Aidan Crean.
Photos below tight lines see you all on the river soon.
