Fishery Report June 21st

Aaron, with a nice hybrid caught on Sunday morning.

The coarse lake is continuing to produce good fishing.  Many large hybrids are being caught and the carp are moving to surface baits.  All coarse fish that qualify as Irish specimens can be weighed on the fishery's certified scales.  Management will remove scale samples where needed and witness the fish prior to a claim.  All qualifying specimen's claimed from the Irish specimen fish committee caught at Corkagh Park will also earn you a voucher for two free day tickets for the fishery.

Specimens likely to be caught are: Roach/bream (3.53lbs) or rudd/bream hybrids (2.64lbs+) Carp (12lb+) and there is a possibility of specimen bream (7.5lbs) and tench (6lbs).

The trout are proving a little awkward, feeding just subsurface and ignoring many offerings, but persistence will pay off.  Successful flies are shiphams buzzers, small bibios and f-flies.

The trout lake has had weed cutting done today, so it should be settled down again by tomorrow.

Fishery report 15th June

Brocko with a specimen Bream Hybrid of 4lb 6 ozs caught this afternoon.  Brocko was using a maggot feeder rig with maggots as hookbait on a quivertip rod.  Even the bright sunlight hasn't stopped the coarse anglers from catching some nice fish, this is one of two very large hybrids caught by Brocko this afternoon.  The specimen weight for Hybrids is currently 3lbs.

On the trout lakes there were lots of fish moving at the surface but they were proving difficult to catch on dries, most success was with nymphs and emergers fished in the surface layers.
