Top fishing guide Geoffray Begard who operates in the north-west area of the country has been in contact with a report about some French clients who fished with him recently in the area. Geoffray tells us that “Christophe, Michel and Christophe from Normandy in France came for their fourth trip to fish on lower Lough Erne. The lower Lough is certainly “THE” spot they like as they came here not for the quantity of fish but the very high quality of catches, with a proper average size of fish. They decided to stay mainly on big lures and they got the perfect week being rewarded with approximately 60 fish. The size of the fish was incredible with 15 fish of 90 cm+ and 11 fish over the meter”.
Geoffray added that some of the best fish measured 110, 113 and 115 cm! This result was achieved under very warm conditions with no wind and a flat calm lake. Geoffray says that a slow retrieve in the shallows/weeded areas was the most successful technique to target one of the big mamas. On the first day, Christophe had a fantastic fish of 108 cm and the other Christophe had a superb 57cm trout which was caught trolling. This trout was one of the very few fish caught on troll.
