Joe Flannelly of Keel River Lodge reported that fishing on Lough Carra is slow at the moment, yet the quality of fish that are coming of the Lough are really good.

The photo shows a beautiful Cara trout weighing just under 3 pounds caught on the 13th of August by Noelle Nicholson from Kildimo in Limerick. Also pictured is David Hayes. Noelle is not new to fishing on the Carra, and has been landing trout like this since she was a child. It’s great to see young anglers like Noelle and David participating in the sport of fishing.
