Fisheries Information Manager Markus Müller reports from Lough Conn & Lough Cullin:
Mixed weather towards the end of the week saw a return to form for day-time trout fishing on Lough Conn. Peter Roche from Rathduff, Co. Mayo, had a memorable day’s fishing around the Cormorant Rocks area, with six fine fish ranging from 1.25 lbs. to a beauty of 6.25lbs., all caught on a Green Peter Dabbler.
Fishing out of Pontoon Bridge Hotel (www.pontoonbridge.com), Roy Walsh and Jimmy Brown, Wales, had five trout averaging 1.5 lbs. However, their best fishy was just short of 3 lbs. Two of their trout took dry olives and three came to Green Peters. Numerous smaller fish were also caught and returned. Elsewhere, Graeme McWilliams and Grainne Foy, UK, boated four trout for 5 lbs., while Steven Fox, Dublin, had a trout of 2 lbs. and a salmon of 3.5 lbs. in the south Conn area.
On Lough Cullin, Trevor James and Thomas Killeen, Co. Fermanagh, had 8 “keepers” and numerous smaller fish for their three day fishing trip; all on dry Daddy-Long-Legs.
