Another Season comes to a close
At Lough Slug. We want to try and catch a few Brown Trout, before the season is over.
For me it is always a bit sad to see the winter coming. There is melancholy in the air and the thought, that we have to wait until March for more trout fishing is almost sickening.
But we make the best of it and Ray has a few Brownies to take home.
This one will be my last one for the season 2008 and I'm looking forward to eating it tomorrow.
Good beye to Lough Slug. See you next year.
Off the Maas Road
There are a good few lakes along the Maas road near Ardara, Co. Donegal.
This one has not many, but pretty good Brown Trout. Ray prooves that beyond a doubt.
Another one on the Bibio.
The day's loot.
Ray and Otmar and Me up at Glencolumbcille
Ray tells Otmar where all those lakes are; up at Glencolumbcille. Yonder that there hill.
It is a fair old walk to get up to the lakes, but you are always rewarded. Splendid views all around.
Can't believe my luck. I catch a good brownie on a Wickham's straight away.
And Ray soon has one on a Bibio.

Lough Skannive
We catch a few small brown trout in Lough Skannive, County Galway. A
farmer tells us, there are more lakes around here, some with big trout.
But to get there is not easy and mostly a long walk.
We'll come back. With more time.
Connemara National Park
Lough Nakillion is at the south tip of "Connemara National Park" and Mr. Raymondo and I catch a lot of nice brown trout. They are not really selective and take all sorts of flies. But you should never be without a Bibio.
At Lough Easky
Lough Easky lies high up in the Ox Mountains, County Sligo. The setting is splended and there are countless small brown trout chasing the flies.
No Rain, no Salmon
No rain, no salmon. So, it's the lakes of the Blue Stack Mountains again. You couldn't hope for a more beautiful setting for your brown trout fishing anyway.
No matter, which way you look at it.

Soon enough we had a good few trout, not the biggest ones, but good fishing and good eating.
Brown Trout at Lough Carrowmore
Lough Carrowmore in County Mayo is famous for Salmon and Sea Trout, but has nice Brown Trout also.
What more do you want. I caught about a dozen or so in this georgeous water. All very close in and most of them took the Wickham's.
Dull Day, lots of Fish
A cloudy, dull, dark day at Lough Naloughraman.
But Ray Robinson and me caught plenty of trout. They were not the biggest ones, we had a very lifely day's fishing though.
Lough Geeta
Great view on the way to Geeta, Co. Donegal.
It will take you about 45 minutes to get from the nearest road to Lough Geeta, but it is worth a little walk.
Ray Robinson, just striking into a Brown Trout.
There we have it.
And that's me just landing one.
What more do you want?
