Frank Maunsell reports on the conditions and prospects on the Owenmore Fishery in Co. Kerry…
13th May 2014 Sunday was a very tough day for fishing.We had heavy showers and a gale force wind. Three people arrived to fish but they thought the water was too coloured and casting would be very difficult so they went for a few hot toddies.
But one local man braved the elements and had five good trout; one fish was 4 lbs weight. Just goes to show you; you have to have your fly in the water to catch fish.
Monday we had 4 trout on the lake the biggest 2 ½lbs and 3 on the river. The water is starting to drop off but it is still high enough to catch fish by day.
