The late Dan gave a life time of service to angling. He originally became involved in Angling as Secretary of Kilworth Trout Anglers, a position he held for over 15 years. When he moved home to Mitchelstown, he became involved in the local club. He was elected Chairman of Mitchelstown club on the death of Dr O’Flynn in 1981.

In his position as Chairman over many years, he was a key figure in a wide range of activities of concern to the club.

For example he quietly and effectively obtained compensation following all serious fish kills on the local rivers, when kills were at the rate of several a year during the ‘ 80s.

The idea of forming a federation of all the Angling clubs on the Lower Blackwater Valley, known as the United Trout Anglers, came from the late Dan Roche. He had the ability to convince all clubs in the region of the advantages of having such a body, which would deal with issues and concerns of mutual interest to all clubs.
