Catch of the Week
Catch of the Week 04 March
This week the Catch of the Week goes to Richard Gibson form Virginia with his massive 7kg (15lbs 2oz) trout caught on Monday last in Hollywell Bay on Lough Sheelin. The fish, 32 " long, was caught on a buster lure. This trout sets a new record for the famous lake.
[Editor's note: This trout was brought to shore in a pike tube and weighed at the Shannon Fisheries Board base on Lough Sheelin before being carefully returned alive]
If you catch a big fish in the next few weeks and have a good photograph of your catch, please submit it to Paul Bourke at 01 8842674 or e-mail paul.bourke@cfb.ie.
