The fishing is picking up...

The warm weather for the last week has woken up the fish in both lakes.  There are a few flies hatching and the trout are moving to them through the middle of the day.  The first Carp of the year was caught on the coarse lake last weekend, and today there were carp moving at the surface near the out flows.  We would still recommend loose feeding rather than heavy groundbaiting until the water warms up further.

The trout lake is due to be stocked on Friday, and on Saturday the Dublin Angling Initiative are holding an open day at the fishery.  This stocking should liven up the older stock fish, and hopefully some big fish will start putting in an appearance in the catch returns again.  With the warmer weather the fishing of natural imitations and buzzer nymphs should start producing better results again.  Klinkhamers and other emergers should also start to take fish while the flies are hatching.
