I've contacted Paul and he has given me permission to post this email.
If anyone could  post this on other lists it would be appreciated, please ask

Kind regards
Rahim

Fishing Opportunity

 

A ‘Come and Try’ fishing session has been organised for Saturday 21st  August  
at 2pm on the Royal Canal in Phibsboro, Dublin.  

The fishing on this occasion will be coarse / pike fishing but other types of 
fishing can be considered for future outings (such as fly fishing, salmon 
fishing, sea angling etc) if the interest is strong enough.  

Assistance and guidance will be available, including from Pearse Bolger - who 
is a keen blind fisherman and angler of many years - who has competed 
successfully throughout Europe in fishing events.  It is hoped that we will 
have fishing rods and other equipment for those who do not have their own to 
try out on the day also courtesy of Pearse and possibly the Fisheries Board.
