Fishery report 1st July

 
 Jack Byrne with his first fish..  ... on his first trip fishing!

Congratulations to Jack who was fishing for the first time with his Dad and his sister Holly at Corkagh Park this afternoon.  He caught his Perch on a float-fished single maggot.  

There are many fish at the suface today, the warmth and the sun bringing them up in the water.  Most success will be had by fishing the bait near the surface rather than deeper.  Padje caught his first carp, a fish of 8lb on Thursday, and  also had a Rudd of 1.5 lbs and a 2lb Hybrid in the same session.


The trout are still being caught on small F-flies, in the surface layer, although the bright sun and flat calm conditions today were not the best for fishing, there were still lots of fish being caught.
