Lough Arrow Anglers report…
At last the fishing has improved. Following the sporadic hatches last week, there were really good hatches on Sunday and Monday. Angler numbers have increased over the weekend and everyone enjoyed a great fishing day on Sunday. Due to the strong winds and overcast skies, most boats caught fish.
Muriel, Yvonne and Sarah Frazer had a very successful day dapping, catching and releasing plenty of trout. Colin and Finian Dodd had four trout, and Simon Steele had three trout to 1½lb on a Grey Wulff. The catch of the week goes to Declan Smith from Dundalk, catching and releasing a trout which he estimated at 8lb, caught on spent in Muck Bay.
