On Friday last the 7th August, the weather had settled down from the very unsettled conditions earlier in the week on Lough Ramor. The winds had dropped away completely and bright sunshine posed additional challenges due to the clear water. Feeder was the method of choice with 2lb hook-length and size 14 barbless hook.
Fishing was tough during bright periods of sunshine but bites were to be had when banks of cloud moved across the sun and a light ripple came on the water. Thankfully, most bites were good and deliberate with none of those finicky tip trembling bites that sometimes can be impossible to hook. Simple ground bait was the order of the day with brown crumb darken down with a black mix and single or double red maggot worked a treat.
The best of the fishing came during the last 2 hours of the session and as the light started to fade and the bites came thick and fast. Quality hybrids were the bulk of the catch with some really nice roach and an occasional skimmer and perch.
