7 women enjoyed a lovely day's fishing on Lough Caragh - a beautiful wild brown trout and sea trout venue between Killorglin and Waterville in Co Kerry.  The long distances travelled by most women were well worth it. 

This lake is spectacular and crystal clear.  It was a great fishing day - a nice breeze and overcast.  We had been told the lake was fishing really well and we weren't disappointed. After a late night socialising everyone blew off the cobwebs very quickly as fish were rising all over the lake.

Susan and Hazel watched 2 other anglers catch and release a 15lb salmon close by - a rare treat.

Julie had a lovely seatrout - carefully returned

Many thanks to Caragh Anglers and boatmen Timmy, Patsy, Corry and Kevin for their very warm welcome and help during the day.

All fish were measured and returned.

Results were:
1st   Julie Gerry with 18 fish
2nd   Susan Brown with 19 fish
3rd  Maddy Kelly with 7 fish
4th   Mary Murphy with 6 fish
5th   Jenny Casey with 6 fish
6th   Hazel O'Gorman with 3 fish
7th   Stephanie Troy 



Chairman Jenny Casey presented Julie Gerry with 1^st place prize

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

Top boatman was Timmy who boated Julie and Jenny and had 24 fish to the boat. Chairman Jenny Casey presented Timmy with his prize

After a hard days fishing everyone enjoyed another night's socialising until the wee small hours and vowed to return again soon.
