MIDLAND LAKES HOTTING UP AS THE PETER
SEASON GETS INTO FULL SWING
It has been a good week on our midland
trout lake fisheries. The Peter season is getting into swing now on
Owel as we write and anglers are very pleased with the fishing. Lough
Sheelin is also in form with small dry sedges working well late into
the evenings. It's good to note the large numbers of small wild trout
showing up in the lake. Ennell which has been rather dour in the past
is also fishing and worth a few evenings effort. Prospects look
promising for the coming week as the Peter season peaks. On the Salmon
front, The Mulkear River, Co Limerick did produce a few nice grilse
over the week as water levels tapered off following recent floods. No
other reports received. TIGHT LINES!
LOUGH SHEELIN
Lough Sheelin fished well during the week particularly on Friday. A
lot of small trout were seen with the best weights up to 4lbs. Dry fly
fishing using a small sedge appears to be the most successful method.
The Cavan Anglers ran the Jeff White Cup on Lough Sheelin on Saturday;
this is a small competition but hopes to get much bigger in the
future.
The L.S.T.P.A will be running the McDonnell trout fishing competition
on Saturday August 7th, this is an open competition, 11am to 6pm from
Kilnahard pier, contact Eamon Ross @ 087 9436655 or Thomas Lynch 087
9132033 for further information.
89 trout were reported caught during the week, with most being
released, best catches were:
Michael Kelly, Dublin – Wednesday. good fishing, 6 trout up to 2½ lbs
using a small dry sedge, Thursday 2 fish, Friday was excellent fishing
with 8 fish caught ranging from 1½ - 3½ lbs. All released.
John Murphy, Crover – dry fly fishing around Goreport and Coru, 4
trout averaging 1 lb to 1¼ lbs, all wild fish and all released.
Shane Clinton, Cavan aged: 7 caught a nice 1 ¼ lbs trout on July 25th,
spinning.
Tim Cruthers, Northern Ireland – 1 trout @ 4lbs wet fly fishing on
Saturday July 24th.
On July 25th 2 Northern Ireland anglers caught 11 trout between them
averaging 1 ½ lbs, best was 3 lbs, all fish were released.

23rd.
Morris Little, Cavan – 1 trout @ 3 lbs, wet fly fishing on Friday,
July 23rd.
Thomas Lynch, Kilnaleck, Cavan – 6 trout on Sunday July 25th,
averaging 1 ½ lbs, all released.
LOUGH ENNELL
The Green Peter is up on Ennell and
anglers are having some success. Johnny O’Malley had 11 trout over the
week on Peter - heaviest fish 3.5 lbs. Prospects are looking good for
Peter fishing for rest of week.
LOUGH OWEL
Owel is fishing well at the moment and
some good trout are being taken at night on Peters. On Tuesday night I
fished with Pat Liddy and we caught 7 nice fish returning 4. Wednesday
night along with Thomas Mc Mullen we boated 2 good trout the best well
over 2lbs. That night we met a lot of fish. In the coming nights I
hope to be on Owel, and have a full report early next week with
photos.
On Wednesday August 4th on Owel we will fish the Dan Mullally Trophy.
Fishing from 7pm-11pm.

MULKEAR RIVER SALMON
FISHING REPORT, CO LIMERICK
Salmon fishing was
fair to good over the week on the Mulkear River, with fish trickling
into the system each day. Water levels are good at time of writing.
Two Italian anglers, angling guests of Millbank Angling Centre had two
grilse to 6lbs on Sunday on fly. French anglers in a party of three
fished for Salmon with Flying C and also fished for trout on the upper
stretches of the Mulkear. One member of the party had three grilse. Water levels are
still good on the Mulkear and prospects remain promising for Salmon
fishing over the coming days. Tight Lines!
