    I appreciate your willingness to learn the worming methods but maybe leave it until layer in the year.
    At the time you mentioned, there will be very few fresh fish around yet the river will be heaving with hungry kelts.

    The worm is very hard on them and I personally don't fish the worm until I'm fairly happy that the Kelts have returned to the sea, mostly by April.

    I'm not familiar with the laune, but we use a size 2 baitholder hook on a 2 foot leader under a jumping jack on a snap swivel. This allows a quick change to allow for different flow speeds in different runs or pools.

    Last year was my first years fishing the Laune... i got out only three days but like yourself i lost a nice fish on a flying condom.. I always fish worm on different rivers around kerry but everyone i found fishing worms on the Laune were using 'Bouncing betties'... I never used them before but i have bought some for the season coming... i THINK ITS A GREAT RIVER 'THE LAUNE' i think last year there was so much rain that the fish were running through it... so thats why the catches were down...
