Warm welcome for Irish Ladies<\/h2>\n

The Trial was hosted by the Loughanure Anglers Club and PJ Walsh ensured a warm welcome for all the traveling lady anglers who arrived from Dublin, Louth, Mayo and many counties in Northern Ireland, to be greeted with the stove lit and a blazing turf fire, serving us with homemade scones and teas and coffees, the hospitality continued throughout the day and delicious hot food was served to all the anglers and their traveling family members before leaving the hills of Donegal to travel back to their home destinations.<\/p>\n

While the hospitality served up by the Loughanure Anglers Club was top class so was the fishing on the day. 11 lady anglers braved the cold and wet conditions on the lake, all the lady anglers caught fish, some experiencing catching their first \u2018wee brownie\u2019, our newest member Catherine Poxon from Bangor, Co. Down, caught her first ever wild brown trout outside the jetty just before 6pm, which was the finishing time of the Competition. Great excitement by all the anglers watching her net, measure and safely return her first \u2018wee brownie\u2019. The Trial was fished on a catch and release basis with all fish returned safely to swim another day.<\/p>\n

Some ladies reported hooking sea trout and a few salmon were sighted at the mouth of the Crolly River, only brown trout were allowed to be measured in the competition. All anglers reported hooking many more fish than they were allowed to measure and getting those lively wee brownies into the net proved to be an art in itself!<\/p>\n

Warm memories<\/h2>\n

All the lady anglers left with warm memories of the fishing and the hospitality extended to us by the Loughanure Anglers Club and will look forward to fishing the lake again.<\/p>\n

The 4th and final Trial of the year to select the 2020 International Team will be held in Munster on Saturday, 12th October, on the Carrigavantry lake, Co. Waterford and will be hosted by the Waterford City & Country Trout Anglers Association.
