June
2010 - "While taking a few days holiday
with some mates of mine from the UK we fished some of
the loughs in Killashandra. Although the fishing was
poor due to the hot weather and the low water, we proved
once again with patience and a little bit of work, you
can find and catch some good bags of fish we had weights
of around 70lb a piece, with Bream to 7lb, Hybrids to
2½lb, Roach Perch and best of all 6 Tench - the
biggest to just over 5lb

You
still need to find the place you want to fish, preferably
deep water in hot weather and use plenty of ground-bait.
I find a cheap way to do this is to put about 3lb of
calf pellets in a bowl, cover with hot water and leave
for a couple of hours or to soak over night, then mix
in about 3lb of brown-crumb, more if you want until
it becomes easy to push though a riddle. Then add water
as needed on the bank put in all you sample bait casters,
corn, chopped-worm, etc. Make the balls nice and hard
and try to cover the same area put in plenty of bait
and fish for a least 2days early morning and the late
evening are best in the summer months". Roy Smith
