Sport: Today saw the annual fire service competition with 42 anglers taking part and there were some excellent catches recorded and some cracking fish landed. The top pair were the Isle of Man anglers Geoff Thomas and Ian Gregson who landed a staggering total of 37 trout between them. Geoff and Ian found fish in several areas but their most productive spot was the Willows on the East bank. Both anglers found orange blobs and damsels effective, but they did say that the trout were lying within just a few feet from the shore. Unfortunately we do not have the full set of results, however we will post them tomorrow. The biggest fish taken was a super 13lb rainbow that tempted by junior angler Elliot Horrocks. Once hooked this giant fish flew out of the water and took off making Elliot jump out of his skin. A tense 15-minute battle followed before it was finally netted. Good Angling! (See the picture below)
The bank fished well today the best areas were Newclose Bay, Bell point and Hollins Bay with Cats whiskers, olive fritz lures and boobies all taking there fair share of fish. See you on the water Paul
