Good turnout to local Liffey fishing competition

Kilcullen Trout and Salmon hosted the 2017 Liffey Shield competition today on the club's waters, writes Simon Dann of the KTSAA. Despite the bad weather a good day was had by all.

Fishing was hard all day with reports of fish being reluctant to rise to dry fly. Many thanks to the 20 anglers that took part, representing five clubs — Kilcullen Trout and Salmon, North Kildare Trout & Salmon Anglers Association, Clane Trout, Kilbride Trout and Dublin Trout. A huge thank you to all who helped out with the event, Eurospar Kilcullen, Kilcullen Town Hall and Kilcullen Canoe Club.

The winning team on the day was Kilcullen Trout and Salmon, comprising Simon Dann, Bobby Murphy, Mick Dillon and Seamus O'Neill.
