There has been a lot going on at Park Lake over the past week, we have held our May Bank holiday weekend promotion and our Over 50’s League final, both with great success. It’s been a week of great weather and truly pleasant surroundings as the Park is in all its new summer colours, making life more comfortable for our anglers. Fish have been responding to the rise in temperature also, rising for flies and making themselves very visible, lures are still working, “Orange”, “Pink” and “Green” lures seem to be the most productive.
The highly anticipated “Over 50’s” league final was held on Wednesday with a good turnout and great weather, the winner of the competition on the day was Robert Allen from Portadown with 5 fish for a total weight of 10 ½ lb. The final league positions were as follows; in 3rd equal place were Hal Dawson from Armagh and Nelson Baillie from Castlecaufeild with 11pts each. First and second place were very close, in fact one point separated the two anglers and in second place was Michael McMullan from Poyntspass with 21pts and in first place was Lurgan angler, Bob Pinkerton with 22pts in total. I would like to thank all the anglers who took part in the league and let them know we will be running another league in the not too distant future.
Our May Bank Holiday promotion went well with a good number of anglers participating, but in the end young angler Thomas Armstrong from Newry bagged 3 fish for an outstanding weight of 12 ½ lb, and will deservedly receive an angling voucher to the value of £100.
Up and coming events include our fully supervised “Junior Angling Competition” which will be held on Saturday 24th May from 10am-2pm, all equipment is supplied free and kids from 11-18yrs can take part. Cost is £10 for entry and 1st prize is a £75 angling voucher from a retailer of your choice, 3 bag limit and heaviest bag rule applies.
Cookstown angler, Matthew Drum had a great days fishing, opting for the catch and release option he caught 9 fish in total, all good weights up to 6 ½ lb. Trevor Wylie of Markethill did well to land 3 good fish for a total weight of 9 ½ lb. Park Lake regular, Tommy McVeigh from Portadown caught and released 3 fish in total. Lisbellow angler, Jack Pincombe had a great day catching and releasing 14 fish in total. Lisburn angler, Dennis Chambers caught one fish for 2 ½ lb. Bangor angler, Scott Armstrong caught 2 cracking fish weighing a rod bending weight of 6lb 8oz and 6lb 9oz, best fish of the week. Visiting angler from England, Desmond Brown had a great weekend catching 3 fish for a total weight of 9lb.
