Elvery Cup report

Great day today for the Elvery Cup fished on Lough Lene by an eager 28 members. Super conditions but the fish were hard got even though there were plenty showing and brought up.

Gerry Heaslip took top spot with a fish of 3.2 lbs, 2nd – Tom Hipwell 3.13 lbs , 3rd John O’Neill 3.07 lbs. Jim Keashin took the special weight prize 2.2 lbs.

It was very close in the end with the top 4 only separated by only 3 ounces! The scales never lie!

As always thanks to Tommy Fagan and Lough Lene Anglers for all their help in hosting and to the DTAA competition committee for a well run event.

Of course results count for angler of the year and it’s really hotting up as we reach the halfway stage:

Sad news at the passing of Bobby Woods

DTAA would like to offer condolences to the family and friends with the passing of Mr Bobby Woods. Bobby was a great friend to all in DTAA, a regular over many years at all DTAA outings and competitions. Bobby represented Ireland, fishing in three Internationals and he also had a number of Leinster Shields under his belt while representing DTAA. You were always sure of a hearty laugh and a broad smile when ever you met Bobby on the water, may he rest in peace.https://rip.ie/…/robert-bobby-woods-churchtown…/492573
