A Day Out with Dave Kelbrick

Region 111 Treasurer Donny Uprichard could not believe his luck when he won the PAC raffle's top prize a two day trip with none other than Dave Kelbrick. Donny a very keen lure angler himself was obviously delighted with the prize and who wouldn't be!
He met up with Dave and they fished lures for two days the fish were really hitting the lures and the jerkbaits were the weapons of choice.
They ended up with well over 60 pike for two days out and half of them were going into double figures.
here a few of Donny's words......What can I say about Dave? He is a true gent, and a really down to earth guy. His lure fishing knowledge is second to none. I learnt a lot from him, with regards to my approach to lure fishing, and pike location, which will undoubtedly improve my catches on the waters here



All I can add is GREAT fishing Lads,well done

The Tope are back in town

The PAC Tope days are scheduled for 28th June and 16th Aug there are still some places available, If you are interested in getting out to catch this exciting species get in touch with Robbie Marsh.
There have been some fish showing already and Robbie and Grooner have both had fish to the boats, with Robbie having 3 fish to over 30lbs in a few hours one evening last week.

Muckno Clean Up

Pac Members took part in a clean up operation for the 'poor anglers' who leave all their rubbish behind them. It's a sad fact that a small fraternity of people will not take their rubbish home with them and spoil the natural beauty of the loughs they visit. It is a lot easier to carry it home than bring it so why not do your envoiroment a favour and take it with you.
During the recent fish in Region 111 members took time out to remove rubbish left by 'poor anglers' the council then came and collected it. Robbie Marsh the RO of 111 said " We left the lough a lot cleaner than when we arrived and added he would like to thank all the members who gave up their time to clear up"
