A mixed week for anglers those that kept on the move did well, searching out fish rather than hoping they come to them. Busy with the boats and plenty taking advantage and going afloat.

good fishing continued this week with some young anglers catching bags of over 10 fish to damsels and blobs. On the whole naturals have been the most successful patterns with diawl bachs accounting for the majority of fish. Water clarity is fantastic which has meant fish are fighting very hard so make sure that you … Continue reading Week ending 20th May 2018

Static or hardly moved … Continue reading Week ending 6th May 2018

Sub-surface static buzzers have been a knockout method, takes have been savage, so make sure you have heavy enough leader on to … Continue reading Week ending 29th April 2018
A warm week has seen some great hatches of buzzer and alder with a sprinkling of olives. Floating lines and intermediates have done well, with the latter best on the brighter days. Overcast conditions have had the fish rising freely all day and many anglers have taken fish on dries. Regular Kevin O’Regan had the … Continue reading Week ending 22nd April 2018

CDC shuttlecocks and bobs bits have worked well with several good bags up to double figures falling … Continue reading Week ending 15th April 2018
