Colm Lynch from East Coast Angling in Navan reports that there has been very good wild brown trout fishing on the River Boyne in Navan with plenty of trout to 1.5lbs being taken by anglers. The river is currently in very good condition with the water continuing to fall and clear. The Mayfly hatch has improved but the cold temperatures and cool breezes have slowed the hatch down in the Navan area.

Colm has had some nice trout himself lately and has had a couple of outings on Sheelin as well. Best fish on Sheelin 2lbs. Shane Mc Quillan also fished Sheelin and got a lovely 2.5lb trout. The fish on Sheelin have been moving to the hatching fly but Colm has reported that he has not come across a fall of spents yet.
