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.

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.
