Connacht - Lough Mask - Latest Reports


Lough Mask - Wednesday, 5 September 2007

WRFB Report 8th May 2007

LOUGH MASK
The weather up to the weekend was almost tropical, with calm sunny conditions making angling very difficult. Chironomid hatches were plentiful, with some mayfly and olives appearing, particularly towards the southern end of the lake. Fishing improved dramatically over the weekend with broken weather bringing a big change in conditions. Anglers fishing buzzer, wet mayfly and some nymph patterns took fish, with dry fly also accounting for trout.
The Ballinrobe and District Anglers held a competition over the weekend, with 103 anglers landing 169 trout for 225.5lbs over 2 days. The winner was Martin O’Connor from Loughrea with 9 trout for 10.97lbs. Second was Martin Connors, with 7 fish for 8.88lbs, third was Derry McGovern with 3 fish for 8.84lbs, and fourth was Martin Feerick, with 7 fish for 8.48lbs. Michael Shovlin from Tourmakeady landed the heaviest fish, a lovely trout of 4.73lbs, and the best junior angler was Shane Jones from Tourmakeady, with 2 fish for 2.89lbs.
An English visitor had good fishing in the Caher area, landing 12 trout to wetfly for one day, with all the fish sportingly released. Paul Loscher and a client had 7 trout for over 10lbs for one day. Rod Tye fished 2 days and caught and released 2 trout each day. James Harrison from Scotland fished buzzer for 2 days and had 6 trout, including one of 4lbs 10oz. With the weather less settled and showery, hatches of fly are expected to really pick up this week, and plenty of trout should be coming to the fly.
