Thanks for the detailed report, Fermanagh reporter.
I would just like to add my appreciation for all the efforts put in by the organisers including Philip for providing camper van hospitality and not least Tommy for all the organisation work involved.
I can’t deny doing a little snoozing, why change a long established tradition. I even landed a “monster” trout during this stage and managed to take photos of same. But for some reason I can’t find them on my camera.!
Ah well it’s the memories that count.

The Moyola Angling club travelled to the loughs of fermanagh at the weekend for the last of this years away trips.
A few surprises this trip Mervyn Finley fishing for over 60 years has finally won a trophy for the heaviest Trout ,winning The Spectrum Cup, you could hear him laughing with joy from all around the lough.
Brian Bigmore is making a late challenge on the leader board after winning the Moyola Angling Still water cup,he had 3 double on Saturday which helped his cause, might make a new rule on this as people were talking behind backs Brian, never the less well done to you.
Philip has come on very well on the fly and also his cooking well done Philip but down a few points this time loughs dont suit him. Sean Henry and Patsy Mcann owe there ghillie a few bob as he put them over a lot of good Trout not his fault though that they couldn't catch them. Speedy made sure he diden lose the boat this time but has a strange way of doing it.
It was Speedy and wee Toms turn to provide the entertainment this time around. Robert Paul had just the 2 flys with him, but left both on the only tree on the lough.
You couldn't watch John McCombe he s got a new camera Robert.
Wee Stanley was very quiet but still managed to tell everyone in Belleek what flys he was using.
Dessie Diamond managed a trout this time but wanted to join it when he put it back,you were seen Dessie. At least he owend up to it.
Moira would you let Patsy get some sleep at night he could be heard snoring in Derrygonnelly.
Christy Gillmore was seen walking on water but this miracle does not say he can catch bags of fish. He said he lost a lot of fish aye right Christy.
The Ballymoughan 2 John and Adrian Mckay with there new boat with Mervyn in the middle just do and go were they want Willie wouldn't have look in when these gays are about.
That just leaves Philip and Seamus they are nearly as good at launching a boat as Speedy they should have been watching big Jack,this time Butter was in the right place at the right time in his new yellow boat.

I've just returned from a trip tpo Canterbury in Kent and whilst there we went on a punting trip on the River Stour that runs through the city. You could see trout dace and chub everywhere in the crystal clear water. The guide said that the local authorities were very "down on " anything which would be environmentally detrimental and wouldn't even allow electric engines to be used. Later I saw a fly fisherman casting in a pool 10 metres from an extremely busy road. The point I am trying to make is that if it is possible to have such pristine conditions in a river in a city of 50000 plus people in the most populated region of England then it puts the "powers that be" here to shame for the standards they settle for here.

The competition report for the Maguire cup on the 1st of August.
We had 20 seniors and 3 juniors out and with the evenings closing in on us again fishing finished at 10.30pm.
The river was low again and should have favoured the fly men but Tom Mullan showed us that worms can still take trout in low water, Tom had a fine trout of 1lb and a total of 1lb 10oz to take joint 1st place with Seamus Donnelly on the fly so well done Tom, in 2nd place was Tommy Mcgrath on the fly, and in 3 place was Robart Paul on the fly and his first 6 points of the season well done Robert.
Our best junior was Jason Bateson.
Philip Maguire lost a bit of ground on the leader board he is on 78 points with Tommy Mcgrath on 64 points and Stanley Aspinall on 56 points and with 20 points on offer this weekend in Fermanagh anything can happen. There are still a few places avalable on this trip ring me on 07510076470.
Dont forget our charity competition and B B Q on the 13th of August for Cancer research Uk and Downs Syndrome Associations starting at Castledawson bridge at 10.30am and finishing at 5.00pm.

Hi Neil, there are lots off good places to fish above Castledawson, Try Curran Bridge where Grange flows into Moyola also above and below Tobermore Bridge and you can fish right up to Draperstown.
