Gold on The Lake of Menteith After 22 years of trying Ireland eventually won gold away from home in Scotland, ironically the last time we won it away was also in Scotland on Loch Leven. What a week! The team captained by Martin McGorrian and Managed by Michael Monaghan had high expectations of some great fishing on the Lake of Menteith several weeks prior to the match with reports coming across the Irish Sea. The Irish Youths set the bar the...
Draycote Water AMFC Group 1 With The Soldier Palmers I jumped at the chance to fish Draycote with the Soldier palmers as it is one of my favourite waters. I got my dates mixed up and thought match day was Sunday and I would be practicing on the Saturday but unfortunately match day was Saturday so no practice for me. The Army team had 2 teams fishing as it was also group 3 match on the same day
I had not fished Grafham since the start of the season but I was really looking forward to it as all the reports where very positive and it sounded like it would be good top of the water fishing.

I heard there had been some good top of the water action in recent weeks, so I was looking forward to some fishing on the dries. We...
At this time of year when family things take over weekends , so when you manage to get finished work early , a phone call to arrange a few hours on a local syndicate water to try out new flies was just what was needed .
Top rod for the day was Christian Jones who is captain of our second team amazing result fishing against a very strong field. We had avoided the curse and topped the day with great individual performances by Russ Gazza and Guss. The ever consistent Nymphomanics in second and our second team in third.

For me a very tough but enjoyable day I only managed 4 fish but really enjoyed my day with Gary Hamilton who also had 4 fish. Congratulations to the winner Kieron Jenkins of the Llanilar Airflo Class
Llyn Clywedog OES league round 4 Blog Llyn Clywedog is nothing short of a spectacle fishery with amazing views wildlife and best of all for us fishing people top fishing. A fishery run by fly fishers for fly fishers and a lake that has now become the best fishery in Wales in my opinion
