Not many Anglers ventured out at the start of the week as cooler than normal temperatures prevailed with some squally North-eastern winds and eased off towards the weekend. On Saturday, Peter Roche, Cloghans and Tony Walsh, Co. Wicklow, fished in flat calm conditions along Brackwansha shoreline. Some hatching sedges were spotted over generally a very quiet day and they rose a few fish and boated one and returned, for just over 1 pound to a small size 18 sedge.
Ian Wise, Enniscoe, boated 2 American Anglers for 2 days in North Conn trolling for Pike and Salmon. However, they caught three trout, best 1.5 lbs all on silver and blue Toby’s. All fish returned.
2 Anglers from Longford, fishing out of Murphy’s boat hire in Massbrook, had 5 trout between them all on Green Peters and claret Dabblers and 4 released at Sand House.
James Callaghan and Eamon Barrett from Clare had 6 trout between them on Peters and Fiery Brown, best 1.5 lbs in Castlehill Bay.
Sean Callaghan, Ardagh and friend Oisin Cosgrove, Cloghans had 2 small pike and 1 trout for 1.25 lbs while trolling for Salmon at the mouth of the Deel.
Brendan Murphy, Cloghans, had a good trout for near 3 lbs on a Black Pennell near Cormorant Rocks.
