Competitions

We have a long history of competitions in our club starting way back in 1957 with the Searle Cup. We hold a number of competitions throughout the season, day and evening. We also hold a Juvenile competition – The Fr. Jennings c.c Cup – to involve our younger members.

Our league runs alongside the competitions and we present prizes for Angler of the Year and Heaviest Fish at our AGM.

These competitions play a major role in our social scene and we like to encourage members old and new to come along as they are a great way of meeting friends old and new, exchanging stories and tactics of seasons past and present. 

We also run two pairs competitions on Lough Lene during the year where we pair a non boating member with a boating member. This has proved to be a huge success since it’s introduction enabling lots of members to experience lake angling for the first time.

All competitions are fly fishing only.
