Guide Jason O’Riordan of Game Fishing Ireland heads down to Carrigavantry in Waterford and reports:

The local reservoirs have been fishing well lately. Today was another great example when Wayne who has returned to Ireland from Australia had a super session on Carrigavantry. The fishing was quiet in the morning but fish were moving. I suggested a few tactical changes and after lunch he was just slamming the resident bows on dries.

Fish on ...
Fish on …
A Quality bow...
A Quality bow…

These were not easy fish to fool but when they did hit the takes were just SAVAGE!

One each safely in the net

We even managed a few double hook ups which came as a surprise to Wayne as earlier in the day a lot of these fish were not interested in his offerings.

It was very pleasing to see that Wayne is a fan of catch and release. He rarely ever keeps a trout. One trout that we spooned was his bag limit for the day.
