Local and visiting anglers alike enjoyed good fishing during the past two weeks on Carrowmore. The lake still produced the odd fresh springer but with good numbers of sea trout now running the system, angling has become a lot more entertaining.

Paul De Neef and his friend Danny Verbessem from Belgium boated a total of 5 salmon (two released) during their visit and rose and lost many more. They also caught a few sea trout; many in the 1 ½ to 2 ½ lbs. range.

Most successful flies included Green Peter, Clan Chief and various Muddler Head patterns.
