    Hi,

    I've got a fly rod and a normal spinning (trolling?) rod and I want to try both on Lough Derg next week for trout.

    But I've no clue what I'm doing so I've loads of questions ->

    Any recommendations on what type of flies and lures I should be looking to use?

    Do I need weights or floats of any kind?

    What time of day or weather conditions would be best?

    Have I any chance from the bank or do i need to get out in a boat.

    Thanks.

    The only advice I can give you is it'll be difficult to pick up a trout from the shore! What part are you intending fishing, it's a big lake...
