Visiting anglers travelled from England, Belfast, Cavan, Dublin, and several other counties throughout the country to enjoy the craic that has been associated with the Carlow cac since it was re-formed several years ago. The club are now in a position to offer workshops on coarse angling and will continue to do so throughout the winter months with the aid of the Angling Council of Ireland trained coaches.

WEDNESDAY ‘KOBRA’ OPENLAKE TWO DYNAMITE MAKINSOctober 12 2011 Number of pegs: 20Once again fish were spread all round Lake Two (Dynamite Makins) for the Wednesday KOBRA Open, with all of the top eight in with a chance of ‘framing’ right up to the final whistle.
