Results
On Saturday October 4th The Lough Sheelin Protection Association hosted their annual Lough Sheelin River Rehabilitation competition, this event attracted over three hundred anglers from all over Ireland including a smattering from England. Fishing conditions were difficult, with bright harsh sunshine and cold winds remaining throughout the day. All anglers saw plenty of fish but consistent to previous weeks fishing this lake, it was all very tough going. This angling club imposed a 16 “ limit on the day, which more than reflected the confidence these anglers have in the large fish that Sheelin has a reputation for. Lough Sheelin didn’t disappoint and despite everything, some very nice trout were brought in with Mullingar angler Ciaran Newman taking first prize with his fish of 4lbs 15.8ozs.
