The month of September has started with a continuation of the unsettled weather. The heavy rain and strong winds have left the Corbet Lough quite murky and the fishing has been challenging. On Thursday 3 September Stevie Rea had a good boat session with five fish including a cracking Rainbow of just over 5lbs. Davy McCandless took three nice fish up to 3lbs on the fly from the front shore during the late evening. Nigel Beckett also took a great fish of about 5lbs on the fly. On Saturday 5 September the Club’s competition anglers fished at the Corbet Lough for the Gowdy Cup. Although a lot of the anglers caught fish the problem was catching a good Rainbow. Wilson Clinghan, who won the Cup with a great brace of fish weighing 5.606lbs, had six fish to the net before he caught the two that he was happy with. David McCandless and Colin Crothers were 2nd and 3rd respectively. Geoff Hylands had six fish to the net but four were browns and he didn’t think that the other two would count. The next competitions are back at the Corbet Lough on Saturday 12 September. The adult anglers will be fishing for the Bruce Carson Trophy and the juveniles will be fishing for the Carson Cup. The juniors will also be fishing at the Corbet Lough on the 12 September for the Percy Trophy.
