Just below the bridge

The bridge across the Eanybeg; full of character.

Just below the bridge there is a good spot for sea-trout.

Well, they cant all be monsters.

 

Eany at Drumboarty

The upper Eany at Drumboarty.

Sometimes it pays to be there just before nightfall.

Mr. Robinson fishing in the last light.

The shrimp fly struck yet again.

Two nice grilse caught in the last light of the day.

 

Great water for the fly

Great water for the fly in the Owenea.

James Laffin, an angler in his prime, caught this grilse despite the sunny weather.

And another feller in his prime. By the way, the fish fell for a shrimp fly.

Time to go to the beach.
Where has all the rain gone?

This summer is surely unusual for Donegal.
We anglers had very bad weather, lots of sunshine, blue skies and no rain.

 

At St. John's Point.

With my beloved at St. John's Point.

While Iris is admiring the fantastic scenery, friend Jimmy Schmidt and I battle hard against the elements to catch a few mackerel.

You have to be really careful.  A wave can easily wash you off the rocks.

 

 

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.

 

No rain and no wind

Mayfly time on mighty Lough Erne.

No rain and no wind. Not the best conditions to catch plenty of big fish.

But this nice feller took the Invicta anyway and brought up a big smile on my face.

 

Great Fishing

Another day to remember.

 

Down to Lough Boyle

Ray Robinson, his brother Ted and me on the way down to Lough Boyle in South Donegal.

Westerly winds and the odd drop of rain; you can't possibly go wrong. Definitely not with a Bibio on your cast.
