Mayo angler scoops prize in national photo competition

MAYO angler Christin Breuker, from Bangor, has been selected as a winner in the ‘My Favourite Fishing Place’ national photo competition that was run as part of Inland Fisheries Ireland Go Fishing Week 2021.

Christin’s photo (above) was taken on a salmon fishing trip three years ago in Kerry.

Entries were received from anglers across Ireland and the UK under the title ‘My Favourite Fishing Place’ and the photos showed where people love to fish and some of the most beautiful scenic fishing locations Ireland has to offer.

The overall winner is Michael Brazendale from England whose favourite fishing spot is Derrynane Beach, Co. Kerry, and the runners-up prizes are awarded to Christin Breuker, Danijel Kucan, Enda Fields, Lukasz Ryz and Maurice Neill.

The entries will be shared across all IFI’s social media platforms over the coming weeks.

Suzanne Campion, head of business development at Inland Fisheries Ireland, congratulating the winners, said: “We are delighted to announce the winners of the ‘My Favourite Fishing Place’ photo competition as part of our Go Fishing Week celebrations. The photos showcase our natural fisheries resource and the abundance of beautiful locations we are lucky to have on our doorsteps to explore and fish.”
