Many thanks once again to Philip and Bernie (and the dreamcaster) for making the weekend such a success. Without their continued support with tea, food and a place to gather the weekends away simply would be the same. Well done Tommy on organising the event and to Speedy for catching 'a fish' over the two days.

I would like to say thank you to Tommy McGrath for organising a great weekend in Fermanagh.
Bernie and I enjoyed all the craic and banter.
Thanks to anyone who helped in any way to make the weekend such a success.

Could someone post here what is going on below tobermore bridge please,and has any of the club balliffs been up to inspect this work,the river has been running very dirty for a few days now ie "suspended solids"could this be coming from these works?also the weir at cadtledawson a few weeks back was "dry"due to work being done was the club or dcal informed of any inriver works .

What is going on with the area around Tobermore Bridge?
It might be a practice for the world sandcastle building competition or a ramp for a water skiing course or a training course for tank drivers.Whatever it is there has been a huge amount of shifting around of the river gravel.

The competition report for the T.S.B Challange Cup.In first place was Philip Maguire lure fishing his 3rd win in 4 outing putting Philip on a very high handicap for the rest of the season, in 2nd place was Ruth Arrell with a nice bag of Trout on the worm, and in 3rd place was Stanley Aspinall on the worm, this gives Stanley a 4 point lead over Ruth Arrell and Tommy Mcgrath who are on 48 points each, Philip Maguire is starting to go well now he is on 43 points, and Patsy Harkin who cannot find any form at the moment is hanging in there on 42 points.Our best juniors are Joseph Spiers on 34 points and Eimeir McClenagnan who is on 20 points.Our next competition The Maguire Cup our last evening competition of the season is on 29th of July. Anyone wishing to go on our away trip to Fermanagh on the 3rd & 4th of August I need to know on the 29th along with their fees of £45. Tight Lines.

To all,proposals in dcal document about th banning of worm fishing,shrimping and prawning,google the above for more info,interesting!!.

There is a widely used cure for weed control which is simply to put barley straw inside some sort of mesh and leave in the water. I was talking to a commercial angling facility recently who uses this method. I wonder if it might help with the Tobermore pond.

A fly rod was found on the Newbridge area of the river. Contact me on this site or the Moyola Angling facebook page if it may be yours.

Ist place this week went to Stanley Aspinal on bait, this was Stanleys first win this season which takes him 2 points clear on the league table, in 2nd place was Wesley McClenaghan on bait, and 3rd place was Brian Bigmore lure fishing.For the second competition in a row Eimeir McClenaghan was our best junior on bait.Still very little between the top 8 anglers,Stanley Aspinall is on 46 points,Tommy Mcgrath is on 44 points, Ruth Arrell and Pat harkin are both on 40 points,Barry Diamond is on 38 points,Wesley McClanaghan is on 36 points, Brian Bigmore is on 34 points and Philip Maguire is on 33 points.
