Its funny what can happen in a couple of weeks? In my last article I was wondering where the Mayfly had gotten to, and only today (Sunday, May 26) I was in amongst them on one of the North West’s most famous wild brown trout fisheries, beautiful Lough Arrow.
I have to add that they were few and far between, but nonetheless they were visible. We fished the western shore and had some success using the wet fly. I landed one about a pound and a quarter on the “Red Arsed Green Peter” and my companion also boated one of similar size using an “Octopus”. We missed a few very fine fish who seemed to be feeding heavily on the emerging Mayfly but we were not disappointed as it was great to see so many fish on the move and surely bodes well for the next few weeks or so….
