Gerard McPartlan with his 3.5lb tench from Inniscarra

Gerard Mc Partlan was fishing in Inniscara (beside garden centre) on Saturday 10 Septmber, and bagged a nice 3.5 lb tench by accident.  he was fishing the feeder and tried a boilie to get some big bream but also got a tench. Gerard reports that the stretch has been quite good for the last few months. He had caught lots of roach, some over 1.3lb,  but started coming on the bream by crushing boilies and sweetcorn into his groundbait.  He also  changed his bait from mixed maggots to worms and boilies towards the second half of the day.  Gerard up with a bag of about 35lb ( best bream was over 3lb) so catching the Tench was a great ending to the day.

Good dace fishing for anglers fishing the River Barrow in Carlow town

By

The Carlow Coarse Angling Club held an open coarse angling match on the river Barrow in Carlow town on Sunday afternoon despite fears that the match may indeed have to be cancelled due to the ever present fear that the tail end of a hurricane was on it way to Ireland. The day did prove to be windy but not the gale force winds that were predicted and the rain stayed at bay for the day. The wind made it almost impossible to fish using the long pole and favoured whips which are always evident in the Barrow matches and normally are the chosen method by most anglers.

dace

Most anglers used the Tip method or feeder fishing as it is more widely known and some anglers chose the waggler float method while the remaining few braved the stick float method to have astounding results and net good bags of Dace. There were not many of the resident Roach on show on the day nor the Perch however Tadas from the Carlow club did land a superb Rudd in all it’s colour and glory weighing almost 2 lb. The Carlow cac would like to thank all present anglers for donating to the disable angling bays fund and attending to show their continued support of the Carlow Coarse Angling Club.

Carlow man and popular Leinster team angler Ollie Doyle won the match on the day using the stick float method and managed to rack up nearly 100 fish in total all Dace to weigh in a cracker bag of over 11 lb. When ask afterwards Ollie said the fishing was very hard due to the strong winds but he persevered and the result showed just that. In second place was Gary Doyle another Leinster Team and former Irish International with over 9 lb. of fish mainly Dace and third place went to Bob Hulme Leinster Team hopeful for next year and former Irish International with over 7 lb. fish mainly Dace. All anglers in attendance had a great day and enjoyed the day out with all the usual banter and jesting evident on the day that has become associated with the popular Carlow angling club.

If you would like any information as regards fishing the river Barrow please do not hesitate to contact the club Chairman Gerry mc Straw on 085 2844566 or by e-mail on [email protected] , the Carlow club will be running regular workshops throughout the winter. The club are currently working on two projects one is to include disabled anglers through the instalment of disabled angling bays along the Carlow town stretch of the river Barrow and the other project is to train special needs teachers and assistants how to coarse fish using the Angling Council of Ireland trained coaches. The club would also like to thank the Angling Council of Ireland, The Leinster Federation and off course the National Coarse Fishing Federation of Ireland (N.C.F.F.I.) for all their continued support of the club.

Dry fly is working well for rainbow trout at the Cashel Trout Fishery

report by Marlene Mc Laughlin

Warm weather has encouraged anglers to try dry flies once again.  David Speirs (Scotland) banked one using a klinkhammer while Shane Irwin, Gavin Moore and Ronan Green (Dungiven) banked four in total using the parachute fly and a daddy.  Maghera’s Pearse Doherty banked eight over two short days using the egg fly and the suspender buzzer.  Derry’s Paul Ford accompanied by his son Adrian banked eleven in total but only took the two home which weighed 4 lb 6 ozs which fell mainly to suspender buzzers.  Limavady’s Stephen Gurney banked three which took wee bloodworms.

We are taking group bookings for any angling club or corporate groups interested in a fun day.  Catering facilities are available in the adjacent Cashel Fishing Lodge.  Info and enquiries to Marlene at 17 Birren Road, Dungiven BT474SH, Tel: 02877742159,

Water levels have been ideal, and the party (5 rods) landed a total of 49 fish for the week. Prospects for the remainder of the season look excellent, and the Fishery is completely booked. Overall it has been the best season for years, with some wonderful Spring fishing, and some large fish ( up to 22lbs) being landed and many being returned. Stocks of Spring fish are very encouraging  for future seasons.

Sheelin fished well til gales prevailed

trout
Niall Carpentar from Balbriggan with his 5lb trout caught using a purple daddy on September 9th

Sheelin fished well during the week with the best day being Friday September 9th which saw ideal conditions of warmth and calm on the lake – a Sheelin angler’s dream but the weekend of strong winds and rain crushed any hopes of a second day performance.

Few anglers braved the gale force conditions, any that did particularly towards evening time on Saturday spent all their energy on baling out their boat as they crossed the treacherous waters with the hooking of trout being the last thing on their minds.

Thursday saw a spectacular hatch of sedges when the wind dropped and there was an excellent rise of fish to sedges.

There was a very good hatch of the blagdon green midge known locally as ‘The Apple Green Midge’ off Derry point from 4.30pm onwards on Thursday, although there has always been a smattering of this chironomid this is the first time in many years that Sheelin has seen the return of this insect.

This midge was always a famous fly for Sheelin in years gone by so it is very encouraging to see it back in such numbers.

There were a lot of stocked trout moving on Thursday as well as wild fish particularly from 6pm onwards.

A reminder to all anglers is that the Lough Sheelin Trout Protection Association will be hosting their 6th Annual Stream Rehabilitation Competition on Sheelin on Saturday October 1st from Kilnahard Pier from 11.0am to 6.0pm.

For details and entry form please Google LSTPA 2011 stream rehabilitation competition.

The heaviest trout caught for the week were by two Balbriggan men – Michael Kelly with a beautiful 60cm 5½ lb trout caught on Friday using a stimulator along the Western shore of the lake and Niall Carpentar also on Friday afternoon with a 57cm 5lb trout caught using a purple daddy along the Western shore close to Reynolds’s.

47 trout were recorded for the week with a predominance of fish weighing over the 4 lb mark.

Some catches were:

Ned Clinton, Cavan – on Friday at 4pm fishing on the Arley side of Merry point one trout at 4 lbs 2ozs using a dry murrough.

Dessie McEntee, Cavan – on September 9th, two trout at 1½ lb (using a red ashed green peter) and 2 lbs (on a gorgeous george).

Andrew Browne, Dublin – on Monday September 5th one trout at 5lbs using a silver dabbler.

Terry McGovern, Garrison – two trout at over 5lbs and 2lbs.

Michael Kelly, Dublin – on Wednesday afternoon, one trout at 3½ lbs around Orangefield on a claret hopper.  Thursday September 8th, six trout – four averaging 1½ – 2 lbs using LF dry flies and two trout at 3lbs caught around Hollywell using a green Klinkhammer and 4 lbs caught at Derry pt. using a stimulator.  On Friday September 9th Michael caught 6 trout, 4 wild and 2 stocked fish – 1 lb, 2 lbs and 2 @ 3lbs, 5 lbs and 5½ lbs, fish were caught using a claret hopper, LF flies and stimulators along the Western Shoreline and Wilson’s side of Merry Point.
