    Haha. Not looking for exact location, those lakes are huge.

    Did you manage to weigh it Dylan?

    Edit: Just seen 13lb, fair play. Some fight off it I'd say

    Lough owel on good Friday nice fish to win the competition caught on the fly Screenshot_2016-03-29-14-28-103_zps1xchdgez.jpg

    Nice one lads and should have some more pics Soon got me self a boat just need a 20-25 hp long shaft so I wanna hit derg and try and find some monsters because that lake Is guaranteed to have some cracking fish.. And as well the fight off the trout was really not as good as I heard they can fight it felt like a 5 or 6 lb pike thought it was until I seen a big gold yoke leaping from the water was mad was I suppose they put up a more athletic quick fight jumping and stuff where as pike tend to give really powerful runs every few seconds which I love but then again if I got her on a small fly rod instead of 2.0 test curve rod and 30 lb braid I'm sure it could have ripped the arm off me haha

    No, The Tags are for a few reasons, By law you have to tag every fish you kill, You get 10 blue tags a year so 10 salmon if you wish to kill 10, Which i don't, You have a log book you fill in details and you fill in where it was caught etc, Any un used tags you send them back at the end of the season, The red tags are for the fishery any tags used they count them up for the salmon caught for the year..

    Thanks for the explaination, do you need to tag a fish if you release it ?

    No problem, No What you do is after you release the fish you go onto the log book you get when you pay for the licence and Say that it was released, And you say where you caught it etc, Thats it!

    Finally bagged my Royal canal bream and it was a two foot long beast
    15rldsg.jpg
    I ran me up and down the canal until I finally managed to squeeze it into my 45cm net.
    Alas I forgot a scales so I only know it was 63cm long [2 foot in old money:)] and fought like a demon, which surprised me as I'd been lead to believe bream fought like an old boot!

    If the photo is hosted elsewhere, use the insert image tab and put in the url

    or else...

    Use the manage attachments option when creating your post and select the photo to upload. Once it is uploaded and you create your post, open the photo in a separate window. Edit your original post, Go Advanced, and insert the url from your image same as you would above.

    its not a trout


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 731 ✭✭✭thefisherbuy


    Definitely not a parr. It's a trout.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,204 ✭✭✭dodderangler


    That's a trout. I've caught plenty of them on the fly. I've caught minnow bigger than some of them.

    Thats fantastic, fair play to them for sending you on the info. Some trek.

    Edit: How come its IFI though? Hardly an inland species!

    I do not know.
    Marine Sport Fish Tagging Programme
    Inland Fisheries Ireland's Marine Sportfish Tagging Programme was initiated in 1970 by the Inland Fisheries Trust, who had responsibility for developing and promoting recreational sea angling. By the late 1960s, results from sea angling competitions were showing a decline in the capture of some of the most important species such as Blue Shark, Tope, Monkfish, Skates and Rays. At that time, virtually all fish caught by anglers were killed and taken ashore for weighing and photographic opportunities.
    As little was known at the time about the biology and migration patterns of these species, the Inland Fisheries Trust decided to introduce a tagging programme with the explicit purpose of introducing conservation measures and to learn more about the migratory patterns of sea angling species. All tags used to date in the Marine Sport Fish Tagging Programme can be identified by their label - "Fisheries Board Ireland Reward". Though the tags appear in a variety of colours and shapes this the text "Fisheries Board Ireland Reward" and a unique id number are present on each tag.

  • Registered Users Posts: 24 Dyl15


    Yea a lot of people told me they were a good deadbait but i could never catch in them i suppose it depends on the venue in this spot we kept missing runs on the perch but they wouldnt touch the roach on the other rod was mad

    Bluefin Tuna (estimated weight of 550-600lb) off the Donegal coast.
    It was tagged with satellite tag so we can learn more about the movements of these stunning creatures. I was on a high for days after!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 870 ✭✭✭jack01986


    Fairplay! How long did it take to land it?

    From hookup to release was around 1 hour. I was shaking after it, my legs arms and back was in bits. The Tuna was in better condition than me after it!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 870 ✭✭✭jack01986


    Brilliant, the excitement of hooking something that size would be something else,


  • Registered Users Posts: 24 Dyl15


    That is some fish man fair play


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 613 ✭✭✭Snowc


    Excellent fish ,hopefully we learn a bit about its movement before it inevitably gets scooped up in a mackerel trawler .Could you keep us updated ?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,207 ✭✭✭a148pro


    Great stuff! How far off coast?

    I presumed it was the colour of the little ridgey fins (the same ones you see on a mackerel) that were the ones that named the species (in the case of your photo, yellow?)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,274 ✭✭✭twin_beacon


    Sure, if I get any info on its movements I'll post it. Some will get caught as by catch by trawlers, but its really a tiny amount (compared to the overall population). There was a reduction in the EU bluefin quota a few years ago, their population has bounced back a lot since the reduced quota. The quota has been increasing year on year again, so the numbers will probably fall again in the next 4-5 years, if not before then.

    Both the blue fin and the yellow fin have those fins, the yellow fins second dorsal fin an anal fin are yellow, thats how its gets the "yellow fin" name.
    It was caught probably around 5 miles off the coast. However, I have seen blue fin "feeding frenzies" on the surface within half a mile off the coast.

    I had 2 fantastic days fishing for tuna this year, seen 4 fish landed, I was lucky enough to land one. Real praise should go to the skipper, I had the "easy" job of just reeling the fish in!

    Sorry were you on a boat or off the beach - beach fishing reports seem very poor.

    Not looking for the mark just the general info on whether or not to head down cork way over the holidays!

    Not exactly a caught fish in the hook sense, but we did catch some nice spawning action on a stretch of river that we recently did some rehabilitation work on.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 473 ✭✭DaithiMa


    Out on Lough Conn today and yesterday. Terrible conditions for the fly (bright sun and strong north easterly) but managed to nab this fella on the troll. Rapala rainbow trout lure. Removed the lamprey and both went back to fight another day. Only afterwards found out that we should have dispatched the lamprey and sent it to the fisheries dept, but will know the next time.

    Jaysus. That looks sore. It looks like the eel is stuck in the side of the trout. Was it easy to remove with all those teeth?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 473 ✭✭DaithiMa


    Yeah had a fair aul grip on him. Needed a fair effort to pull it off the trout. Left a nasty scar but Trout swam off happy and so did the lamprey.
