This post was compiled from angling reports shared on the Lough Arrow Anglers Facebook page:
Swallows greeted the Lough Arrow Anglers as they departed from Flynn’s Pier on opening day last week. There was a decent turnout of boats on the lake, and it was a welcome opportunity for anglers to reconnect with familiar fishing companions.
Conditions were generally favourable, though at times it was quite blustery, with a north-westerly wind. The first half of the day proved more productive, with several trout caught and others lost. However, a slight shift in wind direction during the afternoon brought a drop in temperature, and catches began to taper off.
Among those enjoying success were Colin Dodd and Ceri Jones, with Ceri landing an impressive trout of approximately 4 lbs. Paul Colreavy and John Gorman recorded three fish to their boat, while Ken Murray and Graham Brown, who are currently staying at Lough Arrow Caravan Park, each landed a fish.
Strong winds are forecast for the remainder of the week, and all anglers are advised to take care and wear life jackets at all times.
The first competition of the season is scheduled for Sunday, April 5th, though this will depend on wind strength and any weather warnings in place. Updates will be provided should there be any changes.
