Very small hatch so far but should change this week with a bit more Atlantic weather. Saturday could be great if ye get good conditions

I was beside Carbery Isl at dusk, saw a couple of fish rise to the Mayfly, had an emerger and mayfly on but no luck. As I was just leaving a big pig of a yoke jumps clean out about 60 feet away from me, they were mocking me I swear. :pac:
Gave up at 10:30pm and went home for a consolation beer! :rolleyes:

A lot of Mayfly on the Carrick shore , Lough Corrib last night.
Would have meant a good hatch yesterday afternoon.

Zzippy

Had 2 on wetfly yesterday evening on Corrib, cold windy conditions. Saw a few on Carra today but not enough to call a hatch, no fish moving to them either.

Wasn't out on the lake fishing yesterday but had a look lot of fly hatching didn't seem to be much feeding no spent yesterday evening but have a feeling some might have went out early on.no one I knew that was fishing managed to land anything.

Saw a lot of boats down at Cornamona yesterday evening. Went out for an hour and a half at 6pm. Saw a few fly hatching , covered two feeding fish with wets and hooked both. Strike was savage , touched one and it came back and took the fly.
I sometimes think certain browns travel in pods as fish were identical , both 13 inches and good condition. They were however quite silver , I would say they were moving in from deeper water.

Any updates from lough arrow or lough key guys?

huntsman77

Well lads that time of year again anyone been on ree

bizidea

Was out for a look good few fly hatching but they are off the water straight away odd fish feeding here and there few spent going out in places and the odd fish feeding we could do with a small bit of rain and a bit of a breeze gonna give it a go at d wknd next week might be good if the sun isn't splitting the rocks
