Rathcon Lake is 8.5 acres and is stocked with top quality rainbow trout. The lake is fly fishing only and designed to allow maximum fishing so that 90% of the water can be covered. The average depth is 10ft with deep holes of up to 20ft in places. The fishery is open all year round and is home to a wide range of fly life, in particular buzzers, sedges, hawthorn and daddylonglegs, all providing excellent dry fly fishing, especially in the summer evenings.

The weather was cold with a gusty westerly wind and occasional hail showers. The first hour was active with fish caught from pegs 9 through to 20. Freddie Miller, Gordon Hill and Eamonn McGoldrick all got off to good starts on their first pegs. At the dam end, little was being caught but Martin McGorian and Stephen Desay both managed to land decent fish from it. Both lures and buzzers were catching fish and Karl O Toole was very successful with his team of buzzers landing a big fish of about 12lbs off peg 15. It was neck and neck down to the last peg with four fishermen on 6 fish each. With 15 minutes till the final whistle Freddie Miller landed a trout off peg 5 to win the competition outright. In total, 53 fish were landed. 1st Freddie Miller - 7 fish 2nd Karl O Toole - 6 fish 3rd Stephen Desay - 6 fish 4th Martin McGorian - 6 fish 5th Gordon Hill - 5 fish 6th Hubert Smith - 4 fish Many thanks, to Southside Angling for their support throughout the competitions and sponsoring of prizes.
