Final results from 2009 league:

Out of 10 matches we fished 8, 2 were cancelled due to the weather. We had floods and no we have iced over lakes - the first time the bigger moycullen lakes have been frozen over in 20 years. Did not stop the lad pictured below though, someone emailed me this - he is fishing (and Catching with a hand line, which is illegal)

Anyway results wise:

1st Arunas Mlecka 128.5 points Best 6 Results 114 Points - Well done
2nd Jason Leavy 137 points Best 6 Results 107 Points
3rd martin Davitt 71 points

Congratulations to Arunas on winning the league. He deserved it and fished well, finishing high up in most matches on Galway venues. He fell down on a river match we had on the river Suck, so at the AGM this Friday I will suggesting we have more matches on Rivers :-) Seriously though, its good to see good anglers from abroad fishing well, joining clubs and getting involved. Arunas has been a great help to me in assisting with Junior tuition last year.

Thats all I have time for, have a look at the photo below - this man is fishing through an ice hole with a hand line. It may be the done thing in some places but its illegal here. Also it should be noted that the lake he is on is between 15 and 40 foot deep and also has numerous hot springs that are coming up. Anyone walking on the ice has no idea where these are and the ice over them would be thinner and would not support your weight. Nuts!
