PETER SEASON
IN FULL SWING ON MIDLAND MANAGED TROUT LAKES
Trout fishing has been very
good on our midland managed fisheries and anglers have a good choice
of venues to consider this week. Sheelin continues to fish very well
with a good evening sedge hatch. Both wet and dry fly fishing
techniques are proving productive. The Peter season is in full swing
on our Mullingar lakes Ennell and Owel with lots of action
reported well into dusk, especially on Lough Owel. There has been
some improvement in the weather and prospects look good for the
coming week. An improvement in Croneen fishing is expected this week
on the Camcor and Little Brosna rivers as fish settle which has been
hampered with a succession of floods during July.
Salmon fishing improved on
the River Feale with about 14 Salmon reported caught around the
Listowel area, best fish 13.5lbs. All fish were fresh run with sea
lice. TIGHT LINES!
UPPER
SHANNON
 LOUGH
SHEELIN
It was once again another good week
on Sheelin with a good late evening rise of fish to sedges. Also
anglers are reporting good daytime fishing. As in previous weeks,
there are a lot of juvenile fish showing and anglers are asked to
be especially mindful of handling and releasing these fish
with great care if caught.
A number of the regular L.S.T.P.A
anglers who are fishing the lake had plenty of action. Peter
Mc Cardle and Ken Cairns from Dundalk caught and released over 30
fish in two trips to Sheelin. All fish averaged 2lbs to 3lbs.
Sedges fished wet and dry accounted for the catch. Michael Kelly
caught and released over 20 trout on dry sedges over the week,
best fish was over 7lbs. John Murphy had 5 trout averaging
1.75lbs, released. Thomas Lynch had 4 trout to 2.75lbs, all
released.
The L.S.T.P.A. are hosting a youth
training day targeting young anglers from 7 to 17 years old. The
event will take place on Saturday August 8th, time 11am to 5pm at
Lough Sheelin Kilnahard and ShRFB offices. The programme includes,
