It’s been a mild winter for the most part, without any really prolonged cold spell, and trout seem to have been feeding well on Corrib. Reports from fly anglers are of good fish feeding in the shallows and taking flies. This time of year is dominated by trolling, with the fly typically less successful, so it’s good to see fly anglers enjoying sport already.
That said, trolling is definitely more productive at this time of year. Expert ferox and pike guide Tomi Kurman finally christened his new boat 4 days into the season when his client Darragh landed a fine ferox on Sunday. His two friends also had their chances, but two more fish were hooked and lost on the day.
Tomi was out again on Tuesday, a very wet day. Rain doesn’t bother the fish however, only the anglers, but 4 fish landed made light of the bad weather. They had 4 hits to the trolled lures, with one pike and 3 trout landed. The trout measured from 67 to 79cm. Great fishing! All fish returned alive of course.
