John Cole reports from the Inny
8th May: The weather turned to cyclonic with thunder and lightening, now it has turned back to Northerly winds and low temperatures again.
Philip has headed home without ever seeing the Roach on the Inny, despite using the sounder up from Tommy’s they never saw a single Roach only Trout going for the mayfly.
Phil and Chris were heading off to Conny Beg when they bumped into Peter who advised them to aim for Correen Forde so they turned around and ended up having a great days sport on the Roach and Hybrids. They never took a keepnet and wished they had, both taking out over 50 Roach each. Nothing big just an average of 8oz but great fun after all of the other disappointments.
Peter cut a new swim on the Canal and raked it before prebaiting it for a couple of days. He then settled in for a session and caught two Tench around the 3lb mark along with a good bag of Roach.

10th May: Winds still in the North and bringing cold rain with some bright periods.
I spent they day building a donkey shed with Jimmy, it seemed a better idea that wasting my time fishing.
Peter and Chris headed off to Correen Forde yesterday where they spent a few hours catching Roach, Hybrids and Perch; they found the fish very obliging compared to the River Inny where the only thing moving is the water.

13th May: Peter had a good day down at Shannon Harbour on Friday with Tench and Bream in good numbers, he returned the smaller skimmers and just kept the bigger fish for the camera. His high hopes were dashed though when he failed to get anything at Turmonbarry or at Shannon Harbour yesterday after doing 150 miles.
The Devon boys are back again and are getting a few bits, but like everyone else they are struggling despite a lot of travelling between lakes, they will keep us informed.
