Game Fishing Report Dated June 12th, 2001

Cold, often brisk northerly winds accompanied by some night frosts greatly impacted on game fishing on many of our waters, particularly our trout waters over the past week. Water levels have tapered back to very low levels and on some salmon waters like the Mulcair and the River Feale, this is not helping salmon angling prospects on those waters which are dependant on suitable water to provide fishing.

Angling Highlights

· Specimen Trout of 12lbs+ by Athlone angler fishing in a pike competition near the weir on the Shannon in Athlone

· Grilse run started but poor todate, we await the peak run which may not have arrived yet.

Coarse & Pike Angling Report Dated June 12th, 2001

Generally a mixed week with some centres or rather select venues reporting very good fishing while others proved patchy, hampered by and large by very cool often brisk northerly winds accompanied by night frosts some nights. Daytime temperatures struggled to get over the mid teens on most days. Thankfully at the time of writing, temperatures are recovering and are forecast to rise to about 20 C up to the weekend. Despite the unseasonably cool conditions some lively sport was had by those 'hardier' anglers who braved the elements !.

Angling Highlights
Quite good but not exceptional fishing from a number of venues on the Upper Shannon
More specimen Tench from the Hot Water stretch at Shannonbridge, but be prepared for an all night session !.
Good tench catches from Lough Boora, Kilcormac, Co Offaly
Pike to 20lbs on the River Suck
Super bream fishing again on Lough Derg’s northern shores at Portumna, individual bags to over 200lbs.
Venues on the Shannon at Banagher producing the magical ton + of fish for a number of visiting anglers.
The Grand Canal at Pollagh, near Rahan in Co Offaly still fishing
Lough Derg’s southern shore venues proving a good bet with excellent bream catches reported.
Good tench fishing on the Royal Canal at Grange, Mullingar
East Clare lakes are starting to fish, best time early morning and late evening
