Alice Murtagh IFI from the Corlesmore office reports:
Angling generally has improved greatly in the past week, with sweet corn being the preferred bait for some anglers. Plenty of good bags of fish including Tench up to 3 /4lb in weight being caught at Trinity and Town Lake Killeshandra. Bags averaging 60lb are being got at Killykeen with good Roach, Hybrids and some Tench.
A party of three anglers staying in the Breffni Arms Arva report a great weeks fishing on Gulladoo, Dernaferst and Kevins Shore with plenty of Bream, Roach, Hybrids and Tench. Bags of fish are weighing up to 60lb on Gulladoo with some very big Black Bream. The Wilkinson party have also been fishing Gulladoo, Dernaferst and Corfree and report excellent bags of fish including Bream. Coarse fishing has also improved on the Dromore and Bairds Shore with good bags of fish up to 80lb with plenty of Bream, Roach and Skimmers.
Some French anglers staying in the Carrigallen area are Trout fishing on the Dromore and Annalee Rivers and good catches are also been reported.
Thomas Wolf from Germany sent us in another picture of his big bag of tench from Killykeen last week. Thomas has been visiting the Killeshandra area to fish for 30 years and this year was his best year yet. He stayed for two weeks and as well as this wonderful catch of tench he caught good bags of bream and hybrids each day weighing in at between 30 and 70 lbs. See you next year Thomas!!
