Compared to the 2002 and 2003 seasons, fishing conditions in September 04 were quite favourable. Wet and windy weather woke up the fish and they were aggressively taking the fly.

Mr Harry Hodson started the month by catching 9 sea trout on Glenicmurrin. Rosemary Fitzjohn and Geoffrey Fitzjohn fished Fermoyle Lough where they landed an 8 lbs salmon and 1 sea trout.

The Carraroe Angling Club took a day out and landed 19 sea trout. Robert Haughton and Eoin Jacob fished for 5 days and were joined later on by William Haughton and Redmond Cabot. Between them they had a very respectable tally of 39 sea trout and 2 salmon despite some difficult weather conditions.

Hugh Jamison’s party had a terrific 2 day visit to the Casla. On their first day they landed 25 sea trout on Fermoyle lough and 12 on Glenicmurrin. On day 2 they caught a further 14 sea trout on Glenicmurrin and 2 on Clogher Lough.
