The morning of 11 June dawned, and
with it the realisation that incessant rain
had swollen the lake to such a degree
that successful fishing would be difficult
if not impossible. At the end of the first
day's fishing only
Ernest Williams
(Cork) and
Robert Ramsay
(UK) had
landed trout. Undaunted, the members
retired to Enniscoe House for an
evening of jollification which did much
to revive drooping spirits. Local angler,
Adrian Bourke,
and his charming wife
Ruth
, joined the members, as did
Barry
Segrave,
who supplied the Club with
boats and gillies for the weekend.
Conditions improved only marginally on
the following day with

Enjoying the Annual Lawyers Fishing Club trip were l-r: John Murphy, Denis Sheeran,
John Jermyn, James St. John Dundon, Paddy Daly, Paddy Molloy, Michael
O'Byrne,
John Pureed and Matt Cahill.
(Galway) landing three fish and
John
Jermyn
(Cork) two, while
Paddy Molloy
(Dublin) was unlucky to lose another.
Further jollification ensued.
Scarcity of fish notwithstanding, such an
enjoyable weekend was had by all that it
was resolved to reconvene the Club for
a similar weekend next year and the
outgoing Committee was re-elected in its
entirety for this purpose. Also, the
members have been invited to join the
UK Lawyers Fishing Club for a weekend
away early in 1994. This trip will
probably be to Wales (further details
from Michael O'Byrne, 046^10004).
