Rich pickings for local anglers

Coleraine Anglers Association held its AGM at the Montra Club on Thursday 21st February and was well attended for the evening.

The club, which has been registered as a Limited Company, has excellent fishing for rainbow trout on the Dunalis Reservoir and for wild brown trout and late season salmon on the River Rhee.

The club has a healthy membership at present and the quality of the over wintered trout are fantastic quality. The committee was elected on the evening with David Harkness (chairman), Mark Henderson (secretary) and Alan Morrow (treasurer) all being re-elected and all being thanked by members

for the hard work they do for the club.
