ever caught on Sheelin.
TROUT FISHING BETTER IN THE LATE
EVENING IN THE PRESENT BRIGHT WARM WEATHER
Day time fishing has been poor on
most of the midland lakes due to the very bright sunny
and mostly calm, weather. The best of the fishing reported by
anglers is into late evening with buzzers and sedges. The Perch
fry are on the trout menu on Lough O'Flynn and fishing results
have been mixed over the week with anglers having to work hard to
get a few fish. It was a good week on Lough Acalla with plenty of
stocked fish caught. Anglers are reporting a very good hatch of
sedges during late evening on Lough Acalla. The best fishing has
been early mornings or late evenings. There was a good hatch
of Mayfly on Lough Owel lately and anglers did have some success.
Fishing has been slow of late though, particularly during
daytime hours, but does pickup in the evening time. Mick Flanagan,
our regular columnist has launched his new website, which will
have up to date reports and lots more to interest the angling
fraternity. Fishing is slowing down now. This is normal for this
time of year on many waters as trout go on the Perch fry. Some
sedge and buzzer fishing is still possible in the evenings.
TIGHT LINES!
UPPER
SHANNON
LOUGH SHEELIN
Report to Sunday week ending 23rd June.
Report to follow.
Mick Flanagan reports:
SHEELIN CLASSIC: Pat O Toole from Oakstown in Trim
was the winner of the Kells Anglers Sheelin Classic. Pat won a
spanking new Sheelin boat and Trailor. Presentation took place in
Crover House, and it was top-drawer food and service. Well done to
all involved in the Sheelin Classic. The lake is producing some
great fish late in the evening, and dry fly anglers are catching a
few Sheelin beauties.

LOUGH O'FLYNN & UPPER RIVER SUCK
Trout fishing has been slow enough on
Lough O'Flynn, mainly due to the very sunny and calm weather most
days. Trout are presently on Perch Fry. Fish can be seen feeding
on the fry, but are difficult to catch. Bernard Mannion had a good
fish of 3lbs on a dabbler. Anthony Baggott had one fish over a 2
hour session. Eric Shannon from Carrickfergus after a long absence
returned to fish Lough O'Flynn. He was joined by his friend Jerry
Larkin from Ballinlough and fished over 3 days. Their best day
they caught 4 fish between them.

anglers. The winner was James Feegan. In 2nd place was Carl
O'Toole. In 3rd place was Mark Mc Gorian.
