FOR WEEK ENDED SUNDAY  11th OF MAY 2014

KILLARNEY LAKES AND LOUGH LEANE

2 salmon landed trolling for the week on Lough Leane, averaging 7 lb. each. Weather very windy so not much angling effort.

One fish reported for the week from beat 1, weighing in at 8 lb. and landed on a worm by a visiting angler.

LAUNE SALMON AND TROUT ANGLERS’ ASSOCIATION WATERS AND BEAT 3

Angling Report 12th May (Email to Laune Angling Report)

Laune Salmon and Trout Anglers’ Association waters and Beat 3.

Beautiful water, perfect conditions.  Did not hear of a fish for the week.

Permits for Laune Anglers waters right now cost only €25 per day. 

Beat 3: Water on Beat 3 is ideal for all methods but no fish reported for the week.

Prospects: Now that we have Draft Netting again chances are not improved but we live in hope.

Anglers please note: A ‘One Day’ salmon permit for Beat 3 only costs €25 probably the best value in salmon fishing in the country with a good chance of a fish when the water is right.
