About Me

Having been a very keen angler some years ago when I would have been fly fishing two or three times a week and sea angling almost every weekend I lost track of it all what with work and other things life throws at you. Now I'm getting back into it all with as much enthusiasm as I ever had and I hope sharing the experience of it will enlighten, educate and amuse others who may read these pages.

Altnahinch 13th June 2010


A few of us visited Altnahinch. Weather good , bit overcast and NW wind 4.


No fishing showing around dam and the five of us fly fished and used spinning tackle. Water levels lower than usual

All fish caught were on spinners. Greenfish seemed to be the spinner they like here and it took

all the brown trout caught. Most activity around the dam wall near car park.

Port Muck evening of 9th June 2010




Took a run down to Port Muck this evening for a spot of spinning from the rocks.


Big tide was filling and seas rough with lot of loose weed making fishing difficult.




Fished for about 2 hours before calling it a day as I was getting soaked from the surf.
No fish caught though lots of gulls working about 100 yds offshore . May give it another go tomorrow night.














Mill Lough Bellanaleck


Was working in area of Enniskillen today so loaded my fly gear into the car in case I got a chance to use it.

Work finished about 4pm so headed off to Mill Lough in Belanaleck. Few rain showers around but set up gear anyhow. This lough is very scenic and is well equipped with fishing stands around the shores.

A lot of the shores acan also be waded and boats are allowed which can be hired locally
and are moored at one of the two car parks. The water was gin clear and showing the stoney marled bottom to this lough . Fly life was prolific with large olives and buzzers hatching and fish taking advantage.
I think this lough gets a few mayfly as well as it is only a stones throw from the Erne and access to good coarse fishing with good stands for pike, roach, rudd and bream.




Only fished about an hour and hooked a couple of rainbows around 1lb. I must try to get back here for a longer spell and get a boat on the water. Some really large fish were showing further into the lough.
