Well Senan, Lewis here. As you saw they will definitely take a lure during the mayfly. I was on Corrib about 16 years ago during the mayfly, we were finding it hard to get them on thw dry fly as they were taking loads around us but ignoring our flies. We started trolling tazzies and in an afternoon had something like 30 trout, it was amazing.
That’s interesting Lewis! Our club does mayfly competition all though may, so if you plan on entering a fish, there can’t be any spinning tackle in the boat. 😂 so it’s a delicate balance. I like trying the fly in May, might not always catch one, but it’s one hell of a challenge. 😄
I know you stress the importance of wetting the hands and after catching a few trout over the last year I cannot agree more. They must be one of the hardest fish to release.
That is my kind of water conditions - Flat Calm - and a beautiful morning! Thank you for this enjoyable video - always entertaining and educational.
Thank you we had some nice weather this weekend, the fish weren’t so active, but getting the odd one is enough to keep the day going ☺️🤝
fair play to you for not losing any lures, the only thing i can catch is branches, weeds and a bad cold! great video as always 👍👍

Beautiful Trouts!!! You win one more Subscribed!Cheers mate!🎣🐟👍💯
Thank you for checking it out! ☺️🤝🐟
I went fishing with lures on my local river and caught nothing last couple days do you think it is because of the mayfly
Do you reckon there’s any point in lure fishing next week with the flies coming back again
There’s always a chance ☺️ will be harder for sure!
Brilliant watch .just shows you eh .Well in
Thank you, the weather definitely played its part here. 😄⚠️
