Peter is back with a weekly round up from Piscari-Fly…
Fishing Report
On Sunday a major fish kill was discovered on the upper waters of the Kings River, up around Mullinahone on the Kilkenny and Tipperary border. It has been reported as a serious fish kill. The source has not as yet been disclosed. In the lower parts we are not sure what this will mean, hopefully with the high waters at present it will dilute the posion and have a lesser impact on the system.
We believe the kill stretches 4 to 6 miles at least and if we hear more we will let you all know. It is a sad thing that this happens in this day and age to our rivers and trout fisheries. IFI and authorities are now investigating and hopefully the perpetrators can be found.
How’s The Fishing?
We fished Lough Owel on Sunday for the Leinster Qualifiers. Both Peter and Mark qualified for the Leinster team for the All-Ireland on possibly the 7th September on Lough Corrib.
Congrats to all the winners on the day.
Seniors:1st Shane Callan 2nd Mick McShane 3rd Mark Driver
Masters:1st Roger Fowler 2nd Eddie Rowe 3rd Pat Noonan.
Biggest Fish: Mick McShane with a 7.1lb fish
We were delighted to be fishing for Rathdrum Trout Anglers and winning the team event over the day. This is the first time the club has won this trophy after many years of trying.
Fishing was quiet difficult on the day, very cold, blustery conditions with some very heavy showers at times. As it has been mostly throughout the Spring and at most venues throughout the country. The changeable conditions means the trout are not in a consistant feeding pattern and the hatches are patchy.
The fish were mostly caught on fry patterns like sliver dabblers, minkies and booby fry, pulling down deep on a Di 3 or Di 5 sinking line.
However, I did see some positive signs through out the day with some small hatches of olives and a few trout moving on them at times. The forecast is looking a bit more promising for this coming weekend so fingers crossed we have turned a corner and will see conditions improve. It was difficult conditions in all but good to see a team qualify for Leinster. So best of luck to Team Leinster in September.
Our trip to the Corrib was cancelled because of the winds that were coming on Monday. We will be heading over in a few weeks though and will keep you informed throughout how we get on over there.
