Trout Season 2012

You can rent a boat on Lough Leane, Killarney for €55 a day - small black flies doing the business at the moment. Plenty of wild trout

The trout in the flesk are small enough. There's a chance I suppose of an okay fish in the lower stretches but its a spate river. Not the type of river to produce a lot of nice trout.

The Laune can produce very nice brownies. Since its primarily a salmon river too the brownies are left to their own by and large. You can get day permits for trout, although it is fly only, for €10 and an evening permit is €6 (i think). One place to get them is the Texaco garage in Fossa.

Guys, just starting river flyfishing, living in the kilbeggan area near river brosna, are there any guides in this area that would guide me for a days fishing ?
