Michael Flangan had some good fishing on Owel over the weekend and met a few anglers who were also enjoying the sport…
I had a few days on Owel over St Patrick’s weekend and met some great Angling characters. I dropped into Portloman for lunch and caught up with Rochfortbridge brothers Pascal and Tom Cleary. The deadly Duo were having a super day, and Pascal had just wiped Toms eye by landing a super Owel trout of 3.02lbs.
The super looking trout latched onto a Tasmanian Lure, and was in mint condition.
I also had a bit of luck on Owel, and latched onto some lovely over wintered trout. The fish were hitting sticklebacks very hard, and really slapped into my small colorful Lures. I actually had 11 takes but only boated 2 fish with the best at 1.87lbs.
Johnny Canning a big reader of our Angling slot was also in the thick of the action on Owel. Johnny is from Drumlish Co.Longford, but travels the Country after trout and salmon. I met Johnny down near Kilpatrick Point and he had just boated a fine trout pushing 2lbs on the Tasmanian Lure.
