Ronan Cusack says there was not much to report from Lough Mask this week as the majority of visiting anglers have now returned home, looking more like they spent the mayfly in Tenerife rather than Lough Mask!

Local angler and angling guide Michael Vahey fished with D. Fitzpatrick from Finland last week and they had a total of 12 trout on dries for the week (best fish 2lbs, all returned). Cameron from the United States Fished with Nick Craig from the UK for a day on Wednesday last and they had 5 fish on a combination of dries and buzzer (best fish 2.25lbs, all returned). Gerry O’Brien, Ballinrobe also reported doing well on dries in the evening once the sun went down and temperatures dropped. Ronan Cusack and Mark Rogan had 3 on Sunday on nymphs and small dries (best fish 2.25lbs, all returned).

The outlook for the coming few days is for more unsettled weather, so there is a possibility of a bit of good fishing over the weekend.
