fishing competition around clifden

#1 Post by gfkelly1969 »

I met a local fellow today and he ask me if I would be interested in helping to try to organise a fishing competition around clifden,I didn't give any answer yet but I thought I might put up a bit of a poll to see if any one was interested in taking part first,he was talking about a two day event with a joint boat and shore competition
if you have any ideas for a competition pass them on to me and I will let him know

I'm not aware of any comp that combines boat and shore over a 2 day event in this country, why not be different and do something like this for those of us who like to *cough*, ahem bat for both sides so to speak..... :D If anyone does know of something like this that already exists, please let me know...
Fluff chucking is the new black..... Rampant Wreckfish is a fly angler in denial :D
