Ronan Cusack reports that Mask anglers have focused their attention more on barbeques and sun-cream this week rather than fishing, mainly due to the tropical weather that hung over the country for the last seven days. The good fish have kept well and truly hidden during daylight hours only to reappear again at dusk to feast on hatching buzzers.
Hall’s Angling Centre reported having a tough week with the majority of fish taken on buzzer and nymphs. Tom McMahon and friend from Northern Ireland fished from Hall’s last week, and they had 15 fish during their stay (best fish 2.75lbs), mainly on buzzers and nymphs (Gold head Hares ear, Diawl Bach etc). Ian Matchet and a party of 4 had 6 fish for 3 days fishing (best 1.5lbs). Two Dublin anglers fished for a day and a half from Hall’s and they had 2 fish (best fish 1.5lbs).

Mick Dunne from Tourmakeady had 2 nice fish on Saturday (best fish 2lbs, both returned). Ronan Cusack and Mark Rogan had some good daytime buzzer fishing last weekend on Mask. They landed 10 fish for 2 days (best fish 3 lbs, all returned).
