Peter is back with a weekly round up from Piscari-Fly…
How’s The Fishing?
Fishing in Northern Ireland
Over the weekend Mark headed up North of Ireland for some river fishing with two close friends from a previous World Youth Team many years ago. Basing themselves out of Omagh they picked up their permits and licences for the weekend in Anderson’s Tackle Shop in the town. They fished the Mourne River near Sion Mills on the Friday, approx. 30 minutes from Omagh in Co. Tyrone. Focus was for some of the quality trout known on the Strule & Mourne, with the hope of an odd salmon on nymphs, where a lot of salmon was said to be currently in the system. Some good fishing was had for the first day but patchy in places due to low water levels. Trout fishing was said to be tough by locals due to the pressure of salmon angling. However they still managed some good sized trout up to 1.5lbs with a few nicer fish lost. All on black perdigons & spike hares ear nymphs with Globrite ribbing. Streamers turned some fish also. With the recent warm weather and low levels, locals had mentioned evening time fishing was a better time of day to be out. On day 2 the guys fished closer to Omagh town on the Strule. Fishing in Newtownstewert below the town bridge with some deep pools under the bridge, before moving into Omagh Town, fishing below a housing estate, up along the river until the industrial estate near Argos store etc. Dry dropper and nymphs proved effective, along with going back through the runs with a White Leech jig streamer set up on a long nymphing leader jigged back through the pools. Hooking some of the nicer fish for the day.
River Nore
The River Nore has seen some great fishing over the last week. Evening rises are still going strong and some really good quality fish showing up. Ricky & Dick Croke and Owen here from the shop were out an evening during the week and Owen said the river came alive at 9.30pm with trout rising, gnats and sedges. They got some nice trout. Fishing on nymphs before the rise and switching to dries then. Mostly on caddis type stuff which you would expect this time of year.

Our good friend and customer Keith Kearney from Kildare was out on the River Nore here during the week and caught this lovely condition brown trout on his Piscari-Fly Venator. Keith had 87 fish to the net on this same session and said the fishing was really good. Well done Keith and glad you are enjoying the Piscari-Fly Venator.
Sea Angling
Peter and Owen hit the sea for a day, an annual excursion off Helvick Head in Co Waterford and had a good old day good craic with a few lads in the boat too. Fishing was mixed is the best way to discribe it. Mackerel were very few and far between. Though we found some good shoals of pollock at times it was patchy enough at others. Weather was a good day and some fun to be had in the boat. Something different for a day and we came home with some good fish for the freezer. A very enjoyable day overall. Beautiful to be out on the sea.

Great to see our Dry-X travelling around the world and being used by some of the top fly tyers who specifically work with CDC and find our product fantastic on these flies. Thanks so much to Abel for your review. Delighted Dry-X keeps pushing on and on.
