Jimmy Frazer reports from Lough Arrow
Anglers on Lough Arrow experienced a cold week with just a few mayflies hatching towards the end of the week. However, Martyn Elliott and friend from the UK did well catching 16 fish for 5 days heaviest 2.5 lbs. Martyn McDaid from Strabane had 2 fish heaviest 2 lbs., while Sarah Maxwell also caught 2 trout heaviest 3.25 lbs. Junior angler Oliver Wall boated 2 fish on Saturday heaviest 1.25 lbs. Higher temperatures forecast for the coming week should hopefully bring on the mayfly.
The annual Mayfly Competition is taking place on Lough Arrow on Sunday 20th May from 10am-6pm. All anglers must be paid up members of the club for insurance purposes – new members welcome. Membership and entry accepted from 9am-10am on Flynn’s Pier or by text to Colin +353 (0)86 6000630 prior to start of competition. Weigh-in for heaviest fish over 13′ will take place in McDonagh’s Bar at 7pm. No trolling or spinning permitted.
