New stile has style
28 September 2008
The impressive new stile, which is close to the Fullerton farm will allow easier access for anglers to the Moyola at the popular Lisnamuck stretch of the river.
Club Chairman Seamus Donnelly, who helped with the stile said: "I hope this stile will provide easier access for anglers, while protecting the fencing of the farmland.
"We are very much indebted to the co-operation of local farmers, who have given us access to the river over the years through their land and I hope that all club and visiting anglers will respect the land which they use to access the river."
A salmon of 14.5lb is reported to have been caught at Casteldawson last week.
There are fears that poachers have stooped to the lowest level by using lime on 'Logue's' - a well-known salmon pool below the Weddlebridge. Club bailiffs will be stepping up their patrols of the river both during the day and at night in reponse to this suspected poaching incident.
