Ronan Cusack reports that thankfully with the World Cup just around the corner, angling on Mask has shown signs of improvement. Local angler John Burke from Tourmakeady fished on Thursday last with two visiting anglers from Manchester and they had 5 good keepers from the deep (best fish 1.5lbs). John reported that the going was tough for the early part of the week, only averaging 1 fish per day. World Cup PRO Denis Kelleher fished with Tom Winters from the UK on Friday last and they had 4 trout on a combination of wets and dries (best fish 2.5lbs). Denis said that the deep was lively on wets but there were better fish to be caught in the shallows on dries. Gerry O’Brien and his son Damien had 4 fish over the weekend on wets and dries (best fish 1.75lbs).
Weather conditions are to turn more favourable towards the weekend, with a drop in temperature and a bit more cloud cover.
