Angling guide and casting instructor Eamonn Conway reports that he got his trout season off to a start despite the recent inclement weather. He reports that there is no shortge of water and that the fishing is quite technical and difficult but there are still plenty of trout to be caught on the River Glyde where the trout season is now open.
Eamonn says that predicting the fishing was going to be difficult due to the recent snowfall and low temperatures. Fishing was slow in the morning time but as the day progressed more trout started to take the nymphs “pheasant tail” and “freshwater shrimp” patterns working well.
Eamonn advises that line control is very important to slow the flies down in the fast current. Because of the low temperatures the trout can be a bit slow to move on the nymphs. Most of the trout taken by Eamonn were small and all released safely and carefully to the water. No fly hatches were evident yet as it is very cold and early in the season.
