Pauric McGeraty reports that he has had some French guests Francis & De’de’ staying with him recently at Carafin Lodge and they have been catching some very nice trout on the Annalee River on the fly. The river was in very good condition with the water running low and clear. The Annalee River is a very good trout water and is definitely worth a visit.
