Michael Murphy reports that the Albert Berry Invitational Competition was held on Lough Cullin over the weekend of 10th/11th May.

Nineteen boats carrying thirty-eight anglers fishing in two angler teams enjoyed good fishing over the two days with Davey Elliot & Cyril Care coming out the winners. In second place was Gary Binley & Michael Polin and in third place was Aidan Rush & Jim Hughes. A healthy return of twenty trout to the measure for these places with the best of the weekend weighing in at 3.01 lbs.

 

On Lough Conn reports of good fishing with Mayfly hatches showing generally all over the lough and still some olive hatches to be found in some bays with the Caenis fly starting to show. Angling pressure remains seasonably low because of bright warm conditions but those that dare to try are showing decent returns for their efforts
