Rainbow time

It's rainbow time in Donegal.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And Ray and me decide, to spend the last day of the trout season at Lough Naloughraman.

And we are not coming home empty handed.  There are still a good few trout taking our flies.

At the windmills again

Ray is walking down to another lake at the windmills of Barnesmore.  Thank God, where we are, there is always one more lake to fish.

 

 

There is a definite autumn feel about the place.

When I asked him which fly they took, his dry answer was: on a Blue and Purple Shitty and on a Bogfly.

Mid September and still a good few fresh fish about.

The Peacock Butterfly couldn't believe it:  we didn't catch plenty of fish.

Splendid weather

Depressing.

According to Ray's theory we shouldn't catch much today.

Well, they weren't big anyway.
