Top angling guide and casting instructor Eamonn Conway had an outing this week on the Monaghan Blackwater. He reports that a light frost from the previous night made fishing slow in the morning. Nymphing techniques worked best as the morning progressed and the fishing picked up as well. Alot more trout were came to the net by using New Zealand style nymphing technique just to get the best from dry fly and the nymph. Eamonn advises that it’s a fantastic method for any river and is particularly good on the Blackwater because there are plenty of tight spots, eddies, bank over hangs and undercuts to get the fly into where the trout are stationed waiting to pounce. There were not a whole lot of olives hatching on the morning but the trout were still in good taking form.
