Irish ladies go fly fishing – next outing June 3rd

The first outing/trial of the Irish Ladies Fly-Fishing Association this year was at Tildarg Fishery on Sunday April 22nd. Jenny Casey reports…

The Irish Ladies’ first outing of the year took place on the 22nd of April at a new venue for the ladies at Tildarg Fishery, Doagh, Ballyclare. The ladies will like to thank the Tildarg for the warm welcome we received also a special thanks to Sam and Ernie and to the ladies who made us a lovely lunch.

This was the first time that the ILFA used TIldarg as a venue and fourteen ladies turned out for the first trial of 2018, a friendly welcome was given to those who traveled far an wide for the trial to try to hook into the spotted trout beneath the waters at Tildarg.

It was a blustery start with strong gusts and scattered showers throughout the day. The sun shone for one angler on the day and that was Julie Gerry who had 7 fish for the top honors. Julie had caught some lovely fish all day but she did catch a lovely buttery Brown trout. The top boatman on the day was Mark Dermott.
