Clare River - June 11th

Fished upstream of Claregalway for 2 hours today in glaring sunshine. A few small fish rising but not showing any interest to my dries. I switched to a beaded hares-ear and within an hour had bagged 8-10 trout on the same stretch, most between 1/2 - 1lb. No monsters but i briefly hooked and lost a fish closer to 3lbs.

Conor and I had a fish a piece to the rear off the Fudges on consecutive drifts during this period. Both around 1.5lbs. (Picture Posted) Both fell to Duckfly emergers, one with lure flash and one with an orange tag. Good quantities of fly now hatching. Reports of good catches taken on buzzers today from a pa… Continue
