This week about fifty anglers are fishing a four day fishing festival on the River Suck organized by Leisure Angling, 33 Dovedale Road, Liverpool L18 5EP tel 0151 734 2344.
Yesterday Dave Houghton of L.A. came to Shannonbridge to look at the Shannonbridge area as regards fishing and accommodation for their clients. Took them to Ragherabeg where Dave Feeley and his daughter Kathleen had caught about 30 pounds of fish in the morning. Took some photographs and he visited some guesthouses that were new to him and gave him a map with the guesthouses and self catering houses listed with their telephone numbers. Took him to see the Hot Water stretch and told him of the plan to clean up and renovate the area by ESB and Fishery Board.Seems that Dave writes articles for fishing magazines and looked to me as if he was collecting material for an article next winter.
