Dcelan Gibbons reports that fishing was most productive during the early morning Caenis hatches, which are increasing as the weather improves with warmer temps.

Guide Larry McCarthy of Corrib View Lodge http://www.corribangling.com reported a reasonable week of angling on Lough Corrib. On Monday Andrew Flitcroft of Trout & Salmon Magazine boated a superb 5lbs trout on  the lower lake on dry sedge.

Tom Chamberlain, visiting from Wales, had 3 Caenis mornings with Larry and boated 18 fish in total, 4 of which were over 3lbs. Davie Kidd had 5 trout for his early start on Thursday and Ann McWilliams from Cork had a great morning boated by Larry on Saturday when she caught and returned 7 nice trout on Caenis.

Larry is looking forward to a rise in temperatures forecast for the next week which will help hatches which have been patchy to date.

In the Cornamona area Tom Doc Sullivan http://www.tomdoc.com had two days guiding / fishing with Ferdinand Rodriguez and caught 6 fish over the two days with the best fish being 3.75lbs on  an Olive Stimulator. Tom also reports that there are still some mayfly hatching.
