    Ya I've had 4/5lb trout there and there are also big ferox there if you wanted to do a bit of trolling

    Nice!Im usually a pike fisherman but im getting into fly fishing for trout the last 2 seasons now.Im going to hit Kerry a lot this year.

    Id love to try for some ferox too.Do you need a down-rigger to troll or would some deep diving lures do?

    No need for a down rigger, deep diving plugs fished roughly 20ft below the surface. The bigger trout are generally caught with lures on leane , smaller trout on the fly in upper columns. The laune flowing out of leane is good for trout as is currant near ken mare. Do you fly fish for pike?

    No problem, good to see another trout angler on the scene! If I could give advise to a novice it would be:
    •Get a casting lesson
    •learn on a river rather than Stillwater, if u can cast on a river, surrounded by trees , shrubs etc you'll cast anywhere.
    •Get into fly tying, saves you a lot of money in the end:)
