Following up on a number of very successful Fisheries Awareness Week events in Carrickmacross, the Irish Angling Development Alliance (IADA) held a practice event on Saturday 26th May at Lisanisk Lake (Brother’s Lake) in Carrickmacross. At this event, 10 young anglers between the ages of 12 and 15 took part in a 4 hour training session under the guidance of IADA coaches Geoff Quinn and Peter Walsh and arranged by IADA.

The Fisheries Awareness Week prizes sponsored by IFI have been allocated and the presentation will take place on the next session at this lake over the next two weeks.

During the practice session on Saturday, the kit/tackle of most present was examined and upgraded with an undertaking being given for a return session in two weeks time.

IADA propose to continue investing time in this type of training session on a weekly or bi-weekly basis possibly culminating in the running of a few evening junior competitions before Summers end.

Biggest trout in 118 years caught in west – Irish Times

A MONSTER brown trout, weighing nearly 24lbs (11kg), was hauled from the waters of Lough Corrib on Saturday afternoon. The specimen fish, unofficially the second largest on record, was caught by Welsh angler Ceri Jones in deep water near the lake’s biggest island, Inish Goill. If ratified by the Irish Specimen Fish Committee as authentic, the fish will go down as a record for Lough Corrib, and rank as the largest trout caught in Ireland in 118 years. Mr Jones, who works as a freelance photographer with the British angling magazine Trout Fisherman, was trolling using a “roach deadbait” when he hooked the fish.

There has been a noticeable increase in the water temperature in the last couple of days which may well be the cause of the fish starting to take more freely once more.

23/05/12: A report has come from the Tiverton Boys with a few Pictures of their recent angling holiday. The Boys found it difficult to locate fish on a lot of venues around Leitrim and North Longford mostly as a result of the weather, but finally they did make up for all the miles they did. With good catches of Bream from Lough Allen part of a 60lbs Bag, a picture of a good brace of Inny Roach from Chris one of 1lb 14ozs and one of 1lb 12ozs and a shot of Rob with some more good Roach. The fishing was far from being as good as previous trips but they were quite happy with their stay.

24/05/12: Now that the weather has turned for the good, with temperatures in the 20’s Chris and I drove across White Bridge today and stopped to look if there’s any Life in the river. It was full from bank to bank with Fish and as far up and down the river as one could see.

Chris and Peter have enjoyed some great catches on the Canal and Coreen Forde over the last week.

 

The two boyos are happy with their catch !

Peter this lunchtime, was back from fishing a backwater on the Shannon, very excited about his catch and to top up his ground bait and a bite to eat himself then to return to this swim in record time. We will await the results with baited breath.

LOUGH MELVIN – Monday 14th  to  Sunday 20th May  2012.

The cold conditions continued this week with temperatures struggling to rise above 10°C until Sunday when temperatures rose by a few more degrees. It was once again decidedly cold for those rods who ventured out on the Lough! The trout fishing seemed to improve somewhat chatting to the few rods that ventured out. There were a number of salmon recorded for the week all as the salmon fishing picked up. Tuesday was a good day when the salmon just seemed to ‘switch on’. Raymond Dundaff recorded a 9lb salmon caught trolling at Garrison. Robbie Hare accounted for another salmon of 9lb caught trolling and Niall Sweeney had a good day recording 3 fine salmon caught trolling. The fish weighed 8, 11 & 14lb.

On Wednesday Noel Johnston accounted for another salmon of 8½lb caught trolling. On Sunday, in the Rossinver Fishery, Melvin Schofield logged a 7lb 4oz salmon caught trolling from Harte’s Point and Rodney Benson had a good day recording 2 salmon caught trolling between the County River & Ward’s Point. The fish weighed 9lb 6oz & 4lb 8oz and were sportingly released again.

RIVER DROWES – Monday 14th to Sunday 20th

The river ran at fair levels this week with the gauge at the Four Masters Bridge reading 0.54 metres at the beginning of the week and still reading just over 0.5 metres by the end of the week. Air temperatures however, were still very cold for the time of year. This was a good week on the fishery with numerous salmon caught over the week.

On Tuesday, Brian Hazelton registered a 9½lb salmon caught on a fly from the Upper Mill Pool. On Wednesday, Patrick O’Malley accounted for a 6lb salmon caught on prawn from the Black Hole. On Thursday, Damien O’Hare recorded a 5lb grilse caught on shrimp from the Sea Pools and we await details of Paul McCausland’s salmon.

On Friday, John O’Neill logged 2 salmon caught on a Cascade fly. These weighed 6½ & 4lb and were caught in Briney’s & The Washstones respectively. Pauric Thornton registered a 9lb salmon caught on a spinner from The Washstones. On Saturday, Colin Kenny accounted for 2 salmon caught on a Cascade fly.
