At Lough Free

Stormy weather at Lough Free.

Ray tries to find the right angle.

Great Weather

In the driving rain.

Nevertheless, we caught quite a few trout.

The top of the world

On the way up to the top of the world at Glencolumbcille.

A little rest is required.  Ray Robinson is taking it easy.

View down to Port, the end of the world.

The brace of trout.  That's what we came for.

In the end she came home with two pan size fish.

Donegal Weather

A nice display of Naloughraman trout.

Small Lakes

High up in the Blue Stack Mountains.

Small lakes sometimes hold big fish,...

...and when you are lucky you might even catch one or two.

For the first time this season the trout were really taking well.

They all fell for either The Bibio or The Wickham's Fancy.

A day of two halves

1. Fishing at the Sea Cliffs near Bunglass in Co. Donegal.

Lough O'Muilligan, a Lake at the cliff.

Ray likes the wind and the rain.

2. The wet weather gave way to a more pleasant sunshine, so we moved down the hills, to have a pint or two in one of the local hostelries.

On the way we stopped at Lough Unshagh and caught a few trout.

That's what we brought home: a sea trout and a feed of Brownies. Most of them took the Bibio.

Up at the windmills, Barnesmore, Co. Donegal.

There are a dozen or so lakes up here, most of them hold trout.

But at the end of the day we came home with a few nice fish.
