Ronan's Report

Lough Inagh, Recess, Co. Galway… (and some Corrib!!)

July 29th, 2011 Ronan Creane No comments

It’s been a mixed week of fishing. I’ve been doing some guiding for anglers after salmon, chasing pike and trout on Corrib, targeting monster browns on Lough Inagh as well as seatrout, salmon and normal sized browns. One client had an arctic char, they’re very rare over here and usually small, but very pretty and there is something very special about catching them. Unfortunately i didn’t get a pic! In my 16 years fishing Inagh I’ve only had about 7 or 8 char.

I have no idea what’s in store for the next few days.. I might target pollack around the rocks from my boat, might try for a salmon, might be working!

By the way, if anyone wants to hire me as a guide, give me a call! +353 87 770 1986

Ronan..

: A toothy pike!!

: Damien happy with his pike snack! He broke in a good brown on the first drift of the day..

: Finally into a fish!

: One brown at the end of a long day on Corrib.. This fish took the nameless tail fly i tied for Kylemore Lough on a Di4.

: A nice 10lb+ Corrib pike..

: David Creane and myself rowing from Annaghdown to Knockferry on Lough Corrib. The impellor failed in Dad’s 15hp yamaha. 1hr50mins later we were happy to see the van!

: Andrew, Harry and Peter Killeen, Father and sons. One grilse for the table and one returned. I drove Peter’s Porshe to Roundstone for lunch. This was a day when its fun to be a guide!

: A couple of flies I tied to target ferrox on Inagh.. no joy for me yet this year. Strangely enough, warm sunny days with a gentle to moderate breeze account for most of the really big browns..
