Colm Lynch from East Coast Angling reports that the Boyne at Navan has been fishing very well over the last week or so. Dropping water levels have helped the fishing and trout anglers have been enjoying some nice catches on dry and wet flies.
Luke Walpole from Navan has had a lot of trout over the last week with many weighing over 1lb in weight. Lukes best fish was taken on Sunday 29th April on a streamer and in at weighed 2lbs.
Tony Lyoness also from Navan had a good number of trout to 1.5lbs on wet and dry flies. Also fishing last weekend was Mark Harris who had some nice fishing on Saturday and Sunday, three of the fish weighed over 1lb and Marks best trout weighed 1.5lbs.
Hatches of interest to anglers include the terrestrial hawthorn fly which have produced some nice activity when blown over the water. There are also reasonable hatches of olives at the moment and the best period of activity is around 4pm in the afternoon. The mayfly hatch which can be spectacular on the Boyne at Navan is sparse and very sporadic but it has started. If the weather settles and warms it will take off and will produce its usual great fishing.
