It has been a great weeks fishing here at Park Lake with some great fish caught at the weekend and a successful “Over 50’s” competition. The competition was won by Park Lake regular, Bob Pinkerton from Lurgan with 5 fish for a total weight of 14lb 12oz. The winter league has only one more competition to decide the overall winner, it’s very close at the top and no-ones position is set in stone. After May’s competition the “Over 50’s” will be as normal, and then we will start the summer league in July for a further 6 months.
Even though the weather has improved and water temperature has been steadily rising, the fish are still quite deep in the water so it is wise to keep a hold of your sinking line for the time being. “Orange” flies have started to become more productive lately but “Green” is still producing vast numbers of fish, but it is always wise to keep a variety of flies with you on the day.
Up and coming events include the “Learn 2 Fly-Fish” adult tuition which will be catering for beginners and learners, the course will be held by highly skilled A.P.G.A.I instructor, Patrick Trotter. It is a one day course which will take place on Saturday 26th April from 10am-5pm, all equipment will be supplied and refreshments will be served, it costs £20 per adult for the day. For more details on this and further information on the fishery you can contact us on the details at the end of this feature.
