Boat & Bank…
The weekends are too short! 2 days a week on the water is just not enough.
I had a mixed 2 days on the water. Kevin came down from Fairlie for the weekend and we fished on Saturday. The same tactics as last week nailed 7 really good rainbows for us.
Today Paul Macandrew and I fished together. The plan was to put the boat in but it was too wild. I’ve had a few close calls on small boats and yachts and I don’t want to push my luck any more. Aside from the danger side of the coin, there’s no comfort fishing from a small boat in a big wave. We fished a few river and stream mouths from the bank instead. We didn’t catch any but it was good to fish with and meet Paul. I expect we’ll have a few more missions on the water in the not so distant future.
5 days work and I’ll be back on the water. Nothing else makes sense.

- The following are 4 buggers I tied for NZ winter rainbows. Don’t be confused by the map! I used it to add curiosity.. Aughrusbeg Lough was once upon a time the best big brown trout lake in Connemara.
- Lough Corrib showing “Caislean na Circe”. Great pike water!
- My hometown. The lakes behing Errisbeg Hill all hold trout. Roisin na Roige is a gem!
- One of Irelands Great lakes!
- Kevin got 2 of these quickly in the morning..
- The throttle broke! Fixed with my leatherman..
- Prime condition. Not long off running up to spawn.
- The best of the day!
- Kevin into a good one..
- Great fish!
- Paul Macandrew and I about to set off..
- Paul had a chase here.. That was all the action we had today!
- No place for a little boat!
- Nice drop-off.. no joy!
- Beautiful place..
