Aron & Robert brought along a young trout angler which showed these men the way to go. 8 lb. is a fine trout for anyone well done. Trout did come to the top this evening in around the bays. A small black fly with a white smut was hatching this evening . Cahir & his mate had trout on intermediate lines and a few other trout were caught but it was not very nice in that cold north east wind . Yes 10 degrees barometer is still high but very cool in the shade. The strike pro team just back from China tried out a dozen or so new lures today catching two jacks and a fine trout on their newest lures ..2 hrs. done them in the cold a thirty or forty would have done the trick ….Quiet day over all…

Bloodworm and small flies did pull trout today and bait anglers caught there fair share as well. One rod was pulled in and thanks for spotting that rod men as it was dragged around with a very large trout ..Was quiet with most fly anglers hooking two or three trout over the lake. No pike fishing today… Lough Swilly beat us again today as we fished again different marks with a variety of baits.Plenty of big and small fish on the finder but just not taking the bait…Next time.
