    I'm not really sure what the insect population on Cloghan is but you shouldn't be too wrong with the following

    Wet/
    some smallish black/olive/brown nymphs, damsel nymph, buzzers, orange or yellow booby and if there's any fry in the lake- Alexandra, fry imitation, Minkie

    Dry/
    Klinkhammer, Medium or pale olives, Green Peter, Murrough, some small brown or black flies. (You'll always catch fish on really small black or brown flies, absolute fact!!! )
