Monthly Reports: August
2005
|
The summer drought continued on until late August but was followed
by a succession of 3 floods. Understandably rod pressure was low
for the month but Glenicmurrin Lough, in particular, fished well
in the low water conditions. Once the rains did arrive so did the
anglers. Highlights for the month include:
Neil McGrath and Ronan O Grady fished Glenicmurrin Lough and caught
7 sea trout. Mike MacDonagh and Jean-Pierre Maire were also out
on Glenicmurrin where they landed 8 sea trout. Greg Perry chose
the same lake and was rewarded with 7 sea trout. Sean Finnerty and
Padhraig McDonagh had a great day on Glenicmurrin where they caught
18 sea trout (Best 2lbs 12oz). The O Reilly Party opted for Fermoyle
Lough and landed 9 sea trout. Rene returned to his preferred river
beat 3 where he landed 13 sea trout, but not before stopping at
river beat 1 to catch a 6lbs grilse. He was back a few days later
to river beat 3 where he teased out another 14 sea trout and a 4
lbs salmon. The Fitzjohn Party had 8 salmon during over the course
of a weekend including Charlie De Burgh's first salmon, a fine fish
of 5 lbs.
Pat Murray headed straight to Clogher as the water level was dropping
and were "moving fish as soon as we were in the boat".
Pat's tally for the day: 15 sea trout. Eamon Connolly and Padhraig
Joyce spent an evening on Glenicmurrin and landed 8 sea trout. Eugene
O Hagan caught 10 sea trout, also from Glenicmurrin. Simon Tarpey
visited Fermoyle where he had 8 sea trout. Paul McCabe had 6 from
Glenicmurrin. John Barton enjoyed his day on Clogher Lough where
he landed 10 sea trout. Dennis Quill and his son David, braved strong
winds and did extremely well to land 11 sea trout and lost 2 salmon
before being blown off after just 1 and a half hours fishing. Afterwards
Dennis commented "The sea trout are back!" Jean Pierre
Maire had 9 sea trout on Clogher and Sean Finnerty finished off
the month beautifully with 12 sea trout also taken from Clogher
including a great fish of 5lbs 6oz.
