Gormanston Anglers


The Wavin Lake will be closed on 1st of March for essential works & re-stocking. We will be re-opening on the 17th of March St Patricks day.

There will be a senior competition and junior competition on the day, and the prize for the heaviest junior fish will be a fly starter kit. The prize for heaviest senior fish will be a fly rod valued at €150. The competitions are fly and spin ( no boats ). Entrance fee for senior members €5.00, Juniors are free.
The club have issued an invitation to Balrothery National School to come to the lake on Friday the 6th of March for a field trip. Over 60 kids and teachers will be taking part. This will be at 1pm and we would like as many members that are available to come up and help us on the day. Anyone else that is interested in joining in on this educational visit should contact rayban@indigo.ie

The Delvin River re-opens on the 1st of March and the G D & A will be holding our first competition of the 2009 season on the Delvin on Sunday the 8th. All legal means allowed. The competition begins at 2pm and will run for 2 hours. Meeting at the pool from 1.30pm.

The committee have set a target of May 2009 for the new boathouse, obviously this is dependant on the membership we receive. In next 2 months the club will have 2 x stocks completed of large +2 year old fish into the lake. We also intend to run the Easter junior competition as normal with Easter eggs for all junior members who show up, date to be announced.
