Kevin Molloy of Baurisheen Bay Boat Hire Guiding & Self Catering (087-9604170) reports a quieter week gone by, but fished himself on Tuesday last and had 3 fish on wet flies with the best fish being 2lbs.
We also received word of 2 visiting anglers in the Greenfields area over the weekend enjoying what they regarded as their best ever day on the lake. Dapping crickets they accounted for almost 40 fish of all sizes to the boat, with just 2 fish kept for the pan. That’s some fishing!
