Game Angling & Fisheries News, Announcements, Upcoming Events/Notices & Reports: (Salmon & Trout Fishing) Dated Wednesday August 2nd, 2006

A nice brace of fresh run Croneen trout
recently caught night fishing with wet flies on the Camcor
River, Birr
PETER SEASON A NON EVENT TO
DATE ON OUR MIDLAND LAKES It has been a non eventful week on the game
angling calendar contrary to expectations which should have seen
the Peter season get into full swing on our midland lakes.
This is likely to be attributed to the hot dry summer and higher
than normal water temperatures to date.
Fresher weather over the past few days should help to recover
the situation and allow for some better Peter and Murrough
fishing in the evenings, we'll keep you posted of improvements.
A few trout were reported caught on Sheelin
in the evening time on small dry sedges and is worth trying this
week.
The upcoming August Bank
Holiday weekend is reserved every year by Athlone
Anglers Association for one of the largest Trout competitions of
the season, the John Moran Memorial Cup. Logon next week for an
update on this and other news.
TIGHT LINES!

On Monday July 31st John Murphy LSTPA and friend Dave Mortell from the UK caught 5 trout between them, all on a dry size 12 sedge, best 3lbs, all were released. On Tuesday August 1st John had two further fish averaging 2lbs. Angling guests of Innyside House Finea Mr Moroney from Ennis and friend had 4 fish dry fly fishing, all in the Bog Bay Goreport areas of the lake.

Mick Flanagan, Angling Correspondent for the Westmeath Topic and Sunday World Newspaper Tel: 087 2797270: mick@midlandangling.com reports on Midland Lakes & Rivers. NO TROUT ABOUT.... The annual peter season is very slow at present and it's proving very difficult to get trout to surface feed. The popular Patti Doolan Shield as normal drew a huge turnout of anglers but unfortunately the trout failed to rise to this occasion. Retired Garda member Pat Brady proved a force to be reckoned with and produced the winning fish. Tonight Wednesday 2nd August the Dan Mullally Shield will be fished. Once again fishing 7pm-11pm with weigh-in at Mullallys. Hopefully the change in the weather this week will improve the fishing and we will see some good Owel trout on the move. LOWER SHANNON AREA
