A number of children took part, with colourful animations of the Invasive Weed “Lagarosiphon major” and native freshwater fish species.
The competition entries were very colourful and well presented, the team from Galway Atlantaquaria judged the competition and first prize went to Darragh Reilly of Loughrea, Co. Galway.

A range of events took place on the day, face painting, fly tying, fly casting, Fisheries past & present Museum, A River Trail Walk, BBQ and a display of native species from the Galway Aquarium.
