Jr Competition

Hi All
The Jr competition was fished on Sunday 26th April all the usual suspects turned out for the days action which turned out to be good as all caught fish. The weather was also well behaved in comparison to the gale which was blowing last year this was much appreciated. The competition was won by Connor Callaghan with a lovely 12 inch trout caught on a Hawthorn Fly.
Well done Connor and all who fished on the day, also thanks to the seniors who left the river to them on the day it was much appreciated. Heres a few photos below taken on the day.
