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.

The day the rain came

An evening at the picknick-table, Owenea, Co. Donegal.  After the rain there was a good bit of water in the river and it looked perfect.  But there wasn't a fish in sight.

Ray Robinson and Otmar Butz hope to catch a salmon soon, because the forecast is pretty good.  More rain to come.

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.

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?

Boating on Lough Unshinn

With Paul Greene and Mr. Robinson out on Lough Unshinn in South Donegal.

 

Whilst we could only come up with a few small Brown Trout,

Ray Robinson was catching much bigger fish.  The Bugger.

Big Trout Day

Ray Robinson and me on the way up to the lakes at Glencolumcille, Co. Donegal.

 

On the way there are some spectacular views of Donegal's wild landscapes.

 

Very often there is fog obscuring a clear observation of the lakes here.  But as it lifts, it's big trout only.

 

Really a day to remember.  Where you get a trout or maybe two per day, we must have had a dozen or so.  All hefty good fish.  We will not tell you the names or position of the lakes we caught them in.  You have to come and find out for yourself.

By the way, they all fell for an Invicta size 8.

A Trout from the Derg River

Fishing down from where the Derg River Leaves Lough Derg, Co. Donegal.

 

There are nice little pools and promising runs.

 

But, apart from one fish there is nothing to report.
