Trout angling on the lakes remained slow with the weather not helping. A considerable amount of small under size trout were seen showing.  Anglers commented that they had to rise and catch a lot of trout before bagging a keeper.

The heaviest trout reported for the week was caught by Joe Ferguson, Knockmore. He was fishing with his son Cian along the Brackwansha shoreline. He had two trout, one for just over 2.2 lbs. and the other for 1.2 lbs., all caught on the Claret Bumble.
