LOUGH MASK AUG 2016

Once again a great weekend was had by the 18 KAC anglers who fished  Lough Mask over the last few day's, Catching trout was difficult even when conditions were favourable however good food, crack and the odd Irish coffee made up for the lack of fish!

At the weigh in Martin Kearney took the top spot taking home the Noel Lowery cup, followed by Paddy Conniff and 3rd Dermot Flynn.

On the Sunday Stephan Preiss weighed in the best fish and took the remaining voucher, All and all a great weekend and looking forward to doing it again next year!

Important information regarding the use of club boats

I have been asked to inform the members that anyone using the club boats must have club membership. Day tickets are available for members guests here at

This is important for insurance purposes as the club and the member themselves may be liable for any claims.

Big fish showing on our Rivers.

There have been two wild fish over 3lbs caught in the last month on our rivers, Peter Blair with a fish of 3.1lb on the upper Liffey

and Ray Harris had a lovely 3 1/4 lb fish on the Blackwater during the second leg of the trout cup.

It shows how well our waters are doing, producing these caliber of fish to flies.  If you haven't been on the rivers recently why not pay them a visit?
