Colin Folan from Lough Inagh Lodge Hotel reports that 2 more salmon were landed yesterday and that conditions are favourable for the coming days…
Delighted to report that two cracking fish were caught at The Derryclare Butts this afternoon. Head Ghillee Colin Folan caught and released a piping fresh Grilse of 6 pounds, and local Ghillee Michael Van Mourek landed a brute of 12 pounds.
Colin used a size 10 Silver Badger on a Midge tip, and Michael preferred a full floater with a Lemon and Grey size 10.
Water is perfect and ongoing rain should keep the river beats topped up. It has been a very slow and late start to the season, but it is fully upon us now. Fishing and bookings to hotel reception 09534706.

Go fishing…
Loughs Derryclare and Inagh lie in the lovely Inagh Valley with the Twelve Pins (Bens) of Connemara rising steeply to the west, and the Maumturk Mountain range to the east. There are two short connecting rivers, which contain four river beats. The fishery has spring salmon, grilse, sea trout and large indigenous brown trout. In recent years the fishery has seen a resurgence of fish numbers, and in 2010 – 2012, the fishery has produced Salmon to 15lbs, Sea Trout to 5lbs and Brown Trout to 12lbs.
