2nd Trial on Lake OFlynn, Co Roscommon
(July 16, 2011)7 women enjoyed a lovely day's fishing on Lake O'Flynn - some travelling long distances from Counties Cork, Antrim, Kildare and Clare.(Satnavs do have their uses). The weather wasn't kind - but it was a great fishing day with all women catching trout.

Plenty of other trout were risen, hooked or lost on the day and even a few perch and pike came to the fly.

After a hard days fishing everyone enjoyed some of Jenny's mum's sponge cake - so light and fluffy it filled an entire Quality Street tin! Whose turn is it to bake next time? Thats definitely a tradition worth starting
