GREAT BREAM FISHING REPORTED ON THE REMOTE ISLAND SWIMS ON LOUGH
DERG AT KILLALOE
We had a few reports this week and judging from the feedback received, coarse
fishing has been very good in places, with best sessions during early morning
and late evening sessions in the present very bright weather. Kevin Lyons and
his guests did quite on Bream and Tench in the Strokestown lakes. Not many
reports from the mid Shannon region. The town stretch at Banagher is fishing in
the evening time, with Bream showing. also the town stretch at Portumna is
producing good bags of hybrids and Roach. The remote lake swims on Lough
Derg around Killaloe have been the hotspot this week which are throwing up super
bags of Bream for a party of UK anglers. Prospects look good for next
week. TIGHT LINES!
UPPER SHANNON

RIVER SHANNON AT LANESBORO
No reports this period.
Ian Young reports on his recent visit to venues in the
Upper Shannon Region.
" I am from Selby in North Yorkshire on my second visit this
year. I had 3 evening sessions
on Lough Scur on the pumphouse fishing the short pole or
waggler and had catches of 52lbs, 42lbs and 35lbs of mostly
hybrids and some Roach. (picture of 52lbs attached). Also had a
day on Lough Allen at Barney's shore and had a catch of
hybrids and Roach of 40lbs but what really made the day is
when I turned around to see 3 wild boar on the bank behind
me (picture attached)."

Fishing in and around Strokestown and Longford areas has been very
good most days with some days better than others - Bream to 6lbs and
Tench to 5lb 6oz have been showing with early morning starts and
pre-baiting proving to be productive. Most fish have been caught on
the feeder using red maggots, Bright sunlight and low water levels
have made the fish a little wary when feeding so when pre-baiting for
the first time don't over do it and start fishing at first light or
even try a spot of night fishing to find out what time fish are
feeding at. Tune in next week when we will have more fishing reports,
At the time of writing this it is reported that Dutch Pike anglers
staying at Melview Lodge are having some great catches see the Pike
fishing report.
Lee and Jeff from Doncaster were on there first fishing trip
to Ireland as a birthday treat for Jeff who was celebrating
his 50th birthday, They stayed with Kevin and Jane Lyons at
Melview Lodge in Longford and a good week and 50th it turned
out to be. Kevin commented that the lads pre-baited and
fished early and did everything right and were rewarded with
good catches of Bream and Tench, some day's were better than
others but when you have catches to over the 100lbs on your
first time to Ireland you don't mind ( Well done lads ).

A few fish are being caught but during late evening sessions. Fishing during the
day is likely to be slow due to the very bright sunny weather. The town stretch
is producing good size Bream to 4lbs plus at the , again late into the evening.
The Shannon at Portumna town stretch is fishing well. Good hybrids and Roach.
There are a lot of fish about by all accounts, lots of shoals of small fish
showing, spawning is nearly over and fish are cleaning off.
