Due to the recent hot spell, fishing has been hard work with only a few trout during the day been caught. A nice fish of 3lb was caught on Friday by a Northern Irleand angler and reports from local anglers are that late evening fishing is producing some nice fish of 4lb.A fine 5lb brownie (below) was caught recently by local Martin Mc Kenna, Oriel Park, Emyvale.
The club are asking all members to please practice CATCH & RELEASE . This is in the best interests for the lake and the club recommends all anglers If taking fish to please limit to 1 or maximum 2 PER WEEK.
The majority of fish in the last week/few days have been caught on the spent Mayfly, Claret Dabbler, Sedges and Buzzer patterns however, a range of other different fly patterns are working namely:- the Green Peter and Peter Ross. Shore fishing is ideal at the moment as lake level is just right. All anglers are advised if booking a boat do so early and not to leave it to the last minute as presently, for the moment anyway, demand is out-stripping supply. In contrast, Emys’ shoreline is easily accessible via a new perimeter pathway.
