First picture is my first trout (parr) on the fly

Looks more like a Salmon parr to me.
Have you a better pic?

I find it hard to change back to the spinning rod because it's just... boring? I mean hooking a fish isn't the same as on the fly rod. It just doesn't give you a sense of satisfaction when you land a fish unlike the fly rod. Not to mention the fact that I'm very easily amused by watching my fly float down the river :rolleyes:

Oh I agree with you completely the way a fish takes on the fly is so much better, but there are days like today where flyfishing is impossible & thats why its always handy to have the spinning rod in your bag so you can at least have a cast.

this is my first salmon which I caught spinning, no even worse worming!!!

No but never heard of salmon in this river (River Suck) but then again I've never even caught a salmon so if I catch another like it, I'll try get another pic.

THE ESB have been puting salmon fry into lots of small rivers on the shannon in recent yrs so who knows, bad form to be honest no regard made for the trout!!!

There used be salmon in the suck have seen them caught long time ago 20 years ago.
Caught salmon parrs years ago in small tributary of the suck i thought were 3 ounce small trout but my father said they were young salmon.
The suck is a tributary of the biggest river in ireland so bound to be some salmon in it.

Had an hour or 2 on my local river ysterday and managed 7 trout on an olive klinkhammer.

One of the irish youths caught a beauty at the lakes during the week. If only everybody returned them as well.

Wow that water is really clear.

Ballyhass Lakes · 26-04-2011 3:19pm

Yea its stunning water. But that means the fish can see you a mile off as well so dark clothes and fluoro carbon lines are a must here.

If that's a good return technique I would hate to see a bad one. No need to handle the fish at all and taking a fish into the boat that's to go back is a big no no.

I live in the US (originally from Clare) and here is some trout from around the world, all of which I have caught in 2011.

Brown Trout - caught in Patagonia Chile ~22" (dry-fly - Fat Albert)

Brown Trout - caught in Patagonia ~27" (dry-fly - Gypsy King)

"German" Brown trout caught in a lake in Co Clare ~6", prettiest trout I caught this year (wet fly - march brown)

Lahontan Cutthroat - caught in Pyrmaid Lake Nevada, ~26" (streamer, wooly bugger)

Rainbow - Caught in Little Truckee River, California ~12" (baetis nymph)

All released except Lahontan.

thehamo · 29-04-2011 12:22pm

Would highly recommend it. Went for my birthday and it wasn't cheap, flights guides etc - was saving for while for the trip but worth every penny. Fishing was unbelievable. Water was crystal clear, it was some buzz, watching these huge trout come really lazily for your fly, more or less in slow-motion. And then BANG when you strike them, all hell breaks loose .... some craic

The most "infamous" fly down there is of a mouse. The trout sit by the bank and eat field mice when they fall from the bank. My mate has a great pic of a big trout with a mouse-fly buried in its jaw. Must see if I can dig it up.

Auldloon · 29-04-2011 9:23pm

jjm those first 2 are crackers. Why do you call the Clare trout "German"?

Daroxtar · 06-05-2011 11:21pm

Caught this lad in Fuengirola on the fly, only about 8 oz but a cracking little fighter for his size. The locals thought i was a looper but i was getting loads of bites from tiny litle sardine things on a breadfly and when i switched to a black Flex bloodworm this guy hit it. The locals call it Dorada, I'm not sure what it is

Thats a bream not sure exactly which type i think the spanish call all breams Dorada, theyre a great fighting fish, I caught loads of yellow fin bream in Australia and have caught a few gilt head in Ireland and they all fought brilliantly
