It was all meant to be when I got together with John and Mark and decided that Cavan needed another angling club to help it protect it's waters for the future. We thought about what we could do to play our part in getting coarse angling back to where it should be and give anglers from the county and beyond the chance to fish amongst other friendly and like minded anglers in a club setting.

You'll never grow tired of a sport that can be so different any two times you go out.

I have to say I live by this motto every day I fish and it is so true as to be painful sometimes. They won't always be hard to catch but more overly they will.

I will say that we at C.F.C.A.C will do all we can to provide the fun factor over the competitive match scene that so many clubs end up in these days. It's not always about how big your ego can get or how much your gear costs and how full your shed is of tackle. I have found after speaking to many anglers that they prefer to seek out the quieter friendly club setup so as they can enjoy their fishing in peaceful surroundings with helpful folks and learn more about their hobby as they go along.

As I have mentioned above we are going to run a fun league within our club structure. All members must of course be proposed and seconded by existing members but after that you can expect to have as much craic as serious fishing and our match formats will be made as simple to follow as possible. Some of the ideas we have for the future involve

• Private club waters
• Carp stocked venues
• Members functions

These are but a few of the ideas I have to shape this club into a worthwhile and enjoyable pastime for all it's members and to try and make it the envy of other clubs while keeping it as casual and understanding as we can. We are in the glorious position of being in Irelands most densely populated lake and river county and due to that we have a choice of so many waters to choose from to host events and knock-ups. All the while keeping our main goal to the fore, an enjoyable and friendly league for all our members. Thanks for reading!
