We rented a fishing boat on Corrib. It was a 3.5 mile cycle to Derrys Quay where the boat was moored from Cong. With the limestone rock, sunshine and deep vegetation, the Lough reminded us of some of the islands around southern Cuba! The fishing was not quite so good however ?. We saw a few trout on the surface but were unable to hook one despite trying numerous different methods. Blue Damsels were in abundance on the Lough but the blue flash damsel nymph fly that is usually productive failed completely. We had to settle for catching some good size Roach. It was like fishing for Bonefish without the screaming reel! Shoal after shoal came near our boat and a small Gold Ribbed Hares Ear fly accounted for about 10 fish.
