The Great Spring Fishing Continues!

Ian Powell — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 22:17:56 +0000

The Great Spring Fishing continues……!
Despite the fact that there have not been many anglers out fishing and the water has been very low for much of the spring, we have had remarkable success.

February: 5 fish caught in total, all between February 3-14 for only 30 rod days.

Joint Best February total since 2004 & Joint Second Best total since 1994.

We took four fish for March for a total of just 43 rod days, which was a remarkable achievement as for most of the month the river was at summer level & we were basking in unseasonally bright sunshine.

April gets off to a Great Start!
Despite extremely low water in the first week of April, four springers were landed in 3 days for only 7 rod days in total.

We have had just one day so far this season when two springers were landed – by two different anglers – which was February 5th. Yesterday (April 3) was the first day this year where one angler has landed two fish in one day – and they were both on fly on two consecutive casts! Kieran Conlon (Cork) managed to get away for only his second day fishing so far this season, & I sent him to Lower Kilmurry on a cold blustery day with a NW wind & air temps from 7-10ºC. Just before lunchtime he caught and released a lovely sea-liced fish on a Silver Grey tube fly right up at the head of the Island Stream in the fast water – no surprise as water temp is now just above 52ºF. This was his first springer of the 2012 season.
More surprising was the fact that he went back into the water & the very next cast caught a second sea-liced fish from the very same spot. Both fish were like peas in a pod. The second fish (above) was weighed in later at the Lodge at 8.3lb. Kieran saw a number of other fish throughout the day.

John Lalor (Cahir) caught this 6lb sea-liced fish on fly on April 4th. This was his first fish for 2012.

Joe Tynan (Kildare) caught this 8.4lb. very fresh fish on spinner on April 5th. It was his First Ever Salmon!
It didn’t have sea-lice but they had only just fallen off it.
It is one of the earliest ever recorded First Fish on the fishery!

The First Grilse of the 2012 Season is Caught!

APGAI_Ireland casting instructor Ken Stewart came down to visit the Lodge today (9th.) & went out to the river about lunchtime for a cast on the Kilmurry beats. About 4.00pm Glenda went down to meet him & she arrived at the Hut Pool to see Ken playing a fish. She hopped out of the jeep, rolled up her trousers (no time to don the waders) & hopped into the water to net a beautiful sea-liced 4 pound grilse that had taken Ken’s tube fly. This is probably the earliest grilse that has ever been taken on the fishery.

Biggest Fish of the Season so far!!!!!!!

Jim Shanahan from Castletownroche was fishing an upper beat & phoned me to ask if he could switch to another upstream beat. I suggested he come down as I heard it was quiet above. He arrived on Ballinaroone with his 11 yr old son James & within 15 minutes James hooked & lost a fish on a Toby. Jim caught the Biggest Fish of the Season a few moments later – 12.4lb on Flying C at the Road Pool.

This lovely sea-liced 7.3lb. fish was caught by Terry O’Keeffe (Midleton, Co. Cork) on Lower Kilmurry yesterday. The river continues to fine off today & was at 0.25m at 16.00.
Another very fresh fish was caught today on spinner – only our second from the upper river.

The total for the Lodge fishery is now 8 fish for April to date for only 37 rod days.

This is the river below Blackwater Lodge at 16.00 today.

Gauge height 0.25m. Clarity ~4-5 feet

Prospects
There is more rain coming through the week, with storm conditions for tomorrow (Tuesday).

Availability
There’s no problem for availability of fishing at present.

Daily Salmon Fishing Report

The Eighth Springer of the Season is Caught!

Ian Powell — Sun, 18 Mar 2012 19:59:42 +0000

This fish was taken at 3pm yesterday by PJ Burns from Dublin. Weight 8.2lb.

He took it on spinner on the Lodge’s lowest beat – Ballygally – about 2 miles below Ballyduff.
This is the third springer for March & the eighth for the season so far.

This is the Blackwater in absolutely fine fettle this morning.

The recent rain only brought the river up 12 cm by Saturday morning to 0.46m on the gauge.

It’s down to 0.36m @ 18.45 this evening.

No fish taken today, but a couple seen again on Ballygally.

Conditions are absolutely perfect. Clarity about 4 feet, water temp. 47F.

Beautiful fly height with summer level.

Blackwater Best February for Years

Ian Powell — Sat, 10 Mar 2012 09:53:23 +0000

Lodge proprietor Ian Powell caught this 6.2 pounder on spinner on the Jole on Lower Kilmurry.

February: 5 fish caught in total, all between February 3-14 for only 30 rod days.

Joint Best February total since 2004 & joint Second Best total since 1994.

March 3: First on fly & Biggest of Season caught by Shane Kinsella (Wicklow) – ~12lb.

on a 1 1/2″ aluminium Garry Dog tube on sink tip line.

March 4: First off the upper river a 7 pounder on spinner for Tom Donovan at Castletownroche.

Season total to date: 7 fish.

Prospects

Looking very good for the coming week with a small (12cm) fresh on the river but very good clarity.

23, 22, 21, 20, 19 ………….. Countdown to Opening Day

Blackwater at 10.30 this morning

This was the Blackwater at 10.30 this morning.

Down to 1.04m on the Ballyduff gauge & clearing beautifully.

The upstream gauge readings have still not been updated since the 4th.

Our Opening Day celebration is now fully subscribed only a couple of days after it was announced in our December 30th. newsletter. We offered free fishing & casting clinic throughout the day with Glenda, ending with a bowl of hot stew for everybody at the fishing hut on Upper Kilmurry at 4.00pm.

Hopefully, we’ll have a springer or two to report.

July Grilse run picks up!

Ian Powell — Sat, 23 Jul 2011 20:01:27 +0000

Grilse run gives a major improvement!

July had been ticking along quite steadily, with fish caught most days.
There were only 4 blank days which were all at the beginning of the month.
The last flood on July 18th. got the grilse moving in good numbers,
and we have seen good runs of fish going through both the lower & upper beats.
The river has fined off beautifully with clarity now about 4 feet.

So far for July, 54 fish to 14lb have been caught.
Of these, 24 have been caught in the last 3 days where the daily count is 10, 5 & 8 fish respectively.
Fly, spinner & worm have all caught almost exactly the same number of fish.

The 20th was the Best Day of the Season.
On the 21st., 5 to 10lb. were caught – and no less than 3 were First Ever salmon.
Husband & wife Jake & Jess Hiltz (USA) both caught their first guided by Glenda on the upper river,
& Marino Bellini (Italy) took his first also on the upper river.

Yesterday (22nd.) nine were taken (7 grilse & salmon of 10 & 11½lb.) including another First Ever,
with more now being caught on the lower river as it fines off.

This picture says it all! Seven year old Tommy Quinlivan with his First Ever Salmon!
4lb. sea-liced. Taken on worms on the Island Stream on Lower Kilmurry

With the forecast dry for the coming week, prospects for sport are superb!
Rods and accommodation are available for the coming weeks.

Atlantic Salmon Fishing Report from Ireland’s Cork Blackwater

Ian Powell — Tue, 28 Jun 2011 12:35:18 +0000

Best Day of the Season & Third Best Fish – June 19th.

On Sunday, June 19, we yet again recorded the Best Day of the Season so far.
It was remarkable as the river had only just come back into order after the last small dirty flood.
Even more remarkable was the fact that all the fish fell to just three rods on one beat on the upper river.

Mick Kennedy & Billy Jewitt fished Beat 8 – Bridgetown Priory & landed four fish in the morning & another in the early afternoon. Billy had 2 grilse on spinner to 6lb. and Mick had two on spinner & one on fly – best 13.3lb (see picture) which was the Third Best Fish so far this Season.

They were joined in the evening by Kieran Conlon who had a magic half hour that evening. He landed three fish – all with long-tailed sea-lice – a grilse of 4lb. & two 10 pounders – all on the fly.
Kieran went to the Lodge’s top beat 28 miles upriver on Monday 20th., & released two more fish of 6 & 7lb. on fly.

Monster Lost!
Mick was fishing Beat 9 a little further upriver yesterday. He lost the biggest fish he’d ever hooked – reckoned to be well into the twenties of pounds – on spinner.

June 21 – Third Best Day of the Season.
The run of big fish continues, with most of the fish being taken on our upper 8 beats (Nos 7-14) from 17 to 28 miles upstream of the Lodge.
Six fish were caught in total on Tuesday 21^st. Mick Kennedy (again!) caught 3 on Beat 11 – a 7 & two 10 pounders all on spinner – & lost three fish all about 14/15lb as well.

Beat 9 produced the best fish of the day – an 11.3 pounder on prawn. On the lower river, one grilse (4lb) was released on fly & 16 year old Jack Kadlubowski (UK) sportingly released the First Ever salmon he had caught – a 6 1/2 pounder on spinner from Beat 5.
There are plenty of reports of (mainly) double-figure fish running right through to the upper beats.

On Wednesday & Thursday, we had no rods out due to dirty water, but a beat on the opposite bank to one of our upper beats (20 miles upriver) caught 6 fish to 13lb. – 4 with long-tailed sea-lice.
Just goes to show – “if you ain’t in, you cain’t win!”.

On Friday 24^th. – there was heavy rain throughout the catchment. The upper beats (which have been fishing best in the last week) were out of order & the lower river (which was coming into good order in the previous 2 days) is going out of order @ 3pm this afternoon & is up 20cm to 0.54m & pretty coloured.

http://i731.photobucket.com/albums/ww313/salmonfella/gcall-44.jpg

There was plenty of rain throughout the catchment yesterday (Friday). We had 30mm here at Ballyduff.
The upper river peaked at 01.00 this morning (Saturday) at Millstreet at 1.80m & is back to 0.80m at 12.00.

The word from the top of the river is that it should be fishable up there tomorrow – certainly with spinner even if a bit high for the fly.

The lower river is still rising. It was 1.20m @ 09.00 & 1.44m @ 12.00 here at Ballyduff. The clarity is not as bad as could have been expected. That siltiness that usually fines off quickly. Clarity is around 1 foot today.

Superb Prospects for Next Week!

This is the biggest flood we’ve had since mid-February, so with the run of fish that we already had before the flood, plus grilse now appearing in good numbers well down the West coast, we should see a bumper run of fish as this flood fines off.

Next week could be an absolute humdinger with both big fish & grilse running as the river fines off.

http://i731.photobucket.com/albums/ww313/salmonfella/fc11-6.jpg

The clarity of the water was reasonably good at the beginning of the week when 16 fish to 13lb. were caught – all on the upper river. Wednesday & Thursday were out due to coloured water, but even though the clarity of the water wasn’t great yesterday (Friday), 5 fish all around 6-7lb were taken on spinner on the upper beats, including several with sea-lice. The lower beats haven’t been fishing well as the fish are all running hard to the upper river.

100th. Salmon of the Season!

http://i731.photobucket.com/albums/ww313/salmonfella/gcall-45.jpg

The river was slow enough to clear after the last flood, but was coming back into order on the upper beats yesterday.
The fish were caught on Beats 9 & 10. Two fish about 10lb. – one sea-liced and a sea-liced grilse on fly.
This brings our catches to 43 for June & 100 for the season so far!

Plenty of fish seen running the upper river – mostly in the 6-7lb class, but there’s obviously both smaller grilse & double-figure fish running with them.

With the forecast dry for the remainder of the week, prospects for sport are superb!

Rods and accommodation are available for the coming weeks.

Upper Kilmurry

Ian Powell — Tue, 29 Mar 2011 08:24:17 +0000

John Burch from Armagh with a sea-liced fish taken on spinner on Upper Kilmurry on Saturday.

This was the fifth for March & the eighth for the season to date.

Fish are being seen in good numbers on the lower beats – there was one put at 30lb. seen several times today on Lower Kilmurry.

Fish seem to be holding in the beats below Clondulane, which may explain why so many are being seen but not hooked as springers go off the take quite quickly once they’ve been in the river a week or two.

Currently summer level with superb clarity. We’ll have to see what the rain later in the week may do…………………….

Okanagan Lake Fishing, Kelowna BC

Bill Taylor — Tue, 22 Mar 2011 07:31:03 +0000

Okanagan Lake Fishing 22.7 oz Rainbow, Kelowna BC

A 22.7oz Rainbow Trout caught in Okanagan LakeBC

This Rainbow was taken at the end of June near the little Island across from Peachland.

Trolling at 2.5 MPH just the top of the water where the big Rainbows cruise looking for bait fish. The reel in the rod holder just sings as it is pulled by the power of a big fish. Rod has to be held up at 12 o’clock so the rod can take the shock of the big rainbow trying to shake the lure. When he jumps with the Lure in its mouth it jumps swinging its head back and forth trying to shake of the lure. The only time you drop your rod towards the water is when it’s jump ends and makes a loop heading back towards the water. The weight of the rainbow will snap your line if it is a big fish, that is why you only drop your rod when he jumps but otherwise the rod has to be up at 12 o’clock to take the shock of the heavy rainbow stretching the line and breaking it off.

Not bad for a hand-line off a Mega Yacht, heh?

The Second Salmon of the Season is caught on Blackwater Lodge Salmon Fishery

Ian Powell — Sun, 27 Feb 2011 16:56:19 +0000

The Second Salmon of the Season is caught on Blackwater Lodge Salmon Fishery

Only 2 rods out on the river yesterday.

Tony O’Keeffe from Mallow was fishing at Kilmurry with his father Dan and caught this 6.6lb. fish on Flying C on the Island Stream on Lower Kilmurry. Sea-lice can be seen in the picture – two on the top of the tail and one below the adipose.

There were more on the back & the head of the fish. They also caught a few kelts.

There was a couple of rods out on Friday that also caught a few kelts, but also saw a fresh springer show that they estimated at 15-20lb. – also on Lower Kilmurry.

The upper river had a slight (5cm) rise yesterday. Occasional light rain in the upper catchment had been responsible, and this has meant that the lower river has held it’s level at 0.85m.

The level is currently too high for good flyfishing, needing to be below about 0.6m to be able to wade and fish comfortably.

The weather forecast now looks as if we can expect a dry spell of at least a week. This should ensure that the level will come down to fly order.

When it will be very interesting to see how the upper beats from Ballyhooly to Mallow will fish.

The First Spring Salmon is Landed on February 3rd!

Derek O’Keeffe, from Thomastown, Kilkenny came to the Lodge for a casting lesson with Glenda on Thursday afternoon. After the lesson, Glenda invited him to fish on for the rest of the afternoon on Upper Kilmurry.

He hooked and landed a lovely fresh fish of about 8lb. on a fly he tied himself. It was a colour variation of the PoshTosh as seen in “Trout and Salmon”, February 2010.

The fish was hooked at the head of the Hut Pool on Upper Kilmurry and took about 15 mins to land, having jumped half a dozen times. Derek – a firm believer in catch and release – carefully returned the fish alive. Not wanting to harm the fish in any way, it was quickly released without even taking a photo as he was fishing on his own – the only rod out on the fishery in fact today.

The First Spring Salmon is Landed on February 3rd!

Ian Powell — Sat, 05 Feb 2011 12:27:53 +0000

Derek O’Keeffe, from Thomastown, Kilkenny came to the Lodge for a casting lesson

with Glenda on Thursday afternoon.

After the lesson, Glenda invited him to fish on for the rest of the afternoon on Upper Kilmurry.

He hooked and landed a lovely fresh fish of about 8lb. on a fly he tied himself.

It was a colour variation of the PoshTosh as seen in “Trout and Salmon”, February 2010.

The fish was hooked at the head of the Hut Pool on Upper Kilmurry and took about 15 mins

Derek – a firm believer in catch and release – carefully returned the fish alive.

Not wanting to harm the fish in any way, it was quickly released without even taking a photo

as he was fishing on his own – the only rod out on the fishery in fact today.

Current Situation

This was the river below the Lodge the day the fish was caught – 3rd. February.

This is the gauge height on the upper & lower river for the last five days.

Prospects

On the 3^rd., the river was at a perfect height and clarity for the fly.
On the 4^th., the lower river was up approximately half a metre but peaked late evening.
There was very little fishing effort and gales, but a couple of fresh silver fish were seen jumping amongst the kelts.
Certainly spinnable for the 5^th. Fly is doubtful.

2010 Salmon Season Report from Blackwater Lodge

Ian Powell — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 19:38:23 +0000

2010 Salmon Season Report from Blackwater Lodge
Finally, I have completed a report on the 2010 Season on Blackwater Lodge Salmon Fishery. This can be found on:

www.ireland-salmon-fishing.net/FishingReport/Old/2010/2010season.htm

For more detailed reports by Month please go to:

www.ireland-salmon-fishing.net/FishingReport/Old/2010/2010monthly.htm

2010 Season Highlights

Season Total: 652 for 1,342 rod days (0.49 fish/rod day).

July Total: 168 for 183 rod days.

(The Best July since 2000 when 263 were caught for 750 rod days)

Best Day of the Season: September 26 – 26 fish to 16lb.

Best Catch for One Rod: Eleven fish on September 21st.

Number of First Ever Salmon: Thirty-five in total for the season.

Proportion of Fish Caught on Fly: Second Highest Ever for the Total 2011 Season.

………………………………………………..Highest Ever for the months of May & June.

………………………………………………..Second Highest for the month of September.

………………………………………………..Fifth Highest for August.

………………………………………………..Eighth Highest for July.

The Draft Proposals for the Wild Salmon & Seatrout Tagging Scheme Regulations for the 2011 Season

were issued on Friday, November 19.

The quota for the Blackwater has been raised to 5,859 from the 2010 quota which was 5,054.

The number of tags for the spring (February 1 to May 11) has not been confirmed yet.

Last year, it was one tag for the Blackwater but this was only announced in a Byelaw issued on December 17, 2009 so we are still waiting to hear if it will be one or three tags.

The Huge Run of Fish continues

I was talking to Fishery Board staff at the excellent Irish Fly Fair in Galway last weekend

& got the latest on the runs of fish into the Blackwater.

There were reports of 7,500 fish that had run into the river in the 8 days from October 27.

Just before the Fair on the weekend of November 13/14, this figure had jumped to over 15,000………………..!

This bodes well for our future stocks of salmon.

Angel of the North Fishing Lakes

I’m sure there can’t be many people stuck in the early morning traffic queue on the A1 between Durham to Newcastle who know just how near they are to a tranquil fishing oasis.

I can’t remember where I first heard about this place but it sounds great. Three carp and coarse fishing lakes all a stones throw from the A1 – could be worth a visit.

The Best Ever July Catch

Ian Powell — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 12:30:52 +0000

The Best Ever July Catch in terms of Fish Caught per Rod Day

Mossy McElligott & Tim Quinlivan catch the two Best Fish of the Season on Beat 3 – Ballinaroone

On Sunday, July 25th., Mossy McElligott (Tralee) caught the Best Fish of the Season with a 12.4lb on fly on Ballinaroone & his fishing partner Tim Quinlivan also had two on fly of 11.9 & 9.1lb. Tim’s largest was also the second heaviest weighed fish this year.

The month of July produced 169 salmon for a total of only 183 rod days.This is the sixth best total for the month since I took over the Lodge at the beginning of 1986. It is the best catch for the month since the year 2000, when 263 were caught for 750 rod days. It also includes the two Best Fish of the Season which were both caught on fly on the same day on Beat 3 – Ballinaroone by Mossy McElligott (12.4lb) & Tim Quinlivan (11.9lb).There have also been at least four very large fish lost in the second half of the month.

The table below shows the figures for the six best months of July.

Only the all-time record year of 1992 (when 1511 fish were taken) has a comparable catch per rod day!

Total catch for the season to date is 219.

Take me home, Mum! Our seven year old son Ian heads away
after an afternoon on the river with his famous mum Glenda on July 18!

Current Situation

The river is still fining off slowly from the small floods on July 19 & 23.
It is now @ 0.18m on the gauge with ~5 feet clarity.
Once again there is a huge buildup of fresh fish in the tidal reaches & a good number are running into the main river.
Some of the lower beat – in particular Kents & Lower Kilmurry – are hold a good head of fish.

Prospects

With predominantly dry weather for the coming week, the river remain at summer level.
There are plenty of fish running – both hefty grilse & larger summer salmon.

For all the very latest information please see the Blackwater Lodge Fishing Report page.

Best Day of the Season so far!

Ian Powell — Sun, 18 Jul 2010 17:27:06 +0000

Taken on fly on the Island Stream on Beat 6 - Lower Kilmurry.

Best Day of the Season so far – plus Best Catch from One Beat in One Day!

The river dropped to a lovely height on July 13.

In the morning it was 0.23 & fell to 0.20m by nightfall. Clarity 2-2½ feet.

There was an excellent run of fish coming through the entire system right though to the top beats.

A total of 20 fish were caught for 11 rod days for the day.

Beat 3 (1 mile up from the Lodge): 4 caught. 1 on fly. Best 9.7 & 11lb.

Beat 7 (5 miles up from the Lodge): 4 caught. All on fly. Best 6.5lb.

Beat 8 (15 miles up from the Lodge): 1 caught. 4lb.

Beat 9 (20 miles up from the Lodge): 8 caught. 6 on fly & all released. Best 6lb.

Beat 16 (26 miles up from the Lodge): 3 caught. 1 on fly. Best 6lb.

Two rods caught eight fish today at Bridgetown Abbey.

- mostly grilse around the 3lb. mark.

Six were caught on fly; two on spinner.

All eight fish were released alive.

Mick Kennedy caught 5 (best ~6lb.); Billy Jewitt caught three.

Seven of the fish were caught in a 2 hour “moment of madness”.

Prospects looking very good with fresh fish being taken right through to the top of the fishery.

Still more rain coming in the next 2 days which should top up the height.

For all the very latest information please see the Blackwater Lodge Fishing Report page

Flood moves fish from tidal water!

Ian Powell — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 12:35:24 +0000

This is the water level situation at Ballyduff in the last few days. The small flood on Tuesday put the river out of order for a couple of days as it became very coloured. By Friday it was improving and 3 fish were lost on the Lodge beats.

On Saturday June 12), four fish were caught – 3 on spinner & one on fly. The best (~12lb) was caught & released by Ray Burns on Upper Kilmurry on spinner.

On Sunday, June 13, there were 3 grilse taken on the fly. Clarity is now a good 3 feet.

Seven fish in total for 14 rod days in the last two days.

There has been a significant increase in the number of fish moving through the lower beats since the flood. I’m also hearing about some grilse & salmon being caught up in the Mallow area.

Fishing the Fly at Last!

Ian Powell — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 01:22:31 +0000

Fishing the Lug Pool, Upper & Lower Kilmurry

With such a beautiful balmy evening this evening, four of us decided venture out to the river about 6.00pm this evening.

We opted to go to Upper & Lower Kilmurry, the best of the Lodge’s seven beats below Careysville with the gauge height having dropped to 0.80m.

Glenda & I headed for Lower, and the picture above is her at the Lug Pool at 7.15pm.

She was able to wade & fly-fish the whole way down the pool even at this height.

Island Stream, Upper & Lower Kilmurr

I headed down below to the Island Stream. This was about 10cm too high to be able to wade, though could be fished from the (rather high) bank with a shooting head. The picture above was taken looking downstream at the Island Stream at 7.45pm

We didn’t see or touch any fish on Lower Kilmurry, but when we went back up to Upper Kilmurry, the other two had seen three large fresh fish moving through the Sand Gap & the Hut Pool and Daniel (a student on work experience at the Lodge from the Swedish Sport Fishing Academy) had briefly hooked one of them just after it showed.

The clarity is about 5 feet & the level is falling steadily, so the prospects for the coming week look good.

For the latest information, see our daily updated Fishing Report page.

Third Springer is caught on Ireland’s Blackwater Lodge beats

Ian Powell — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 16:58:06 +0000

The third springer of the season was taken on Sunday, March 14 by Larry Sheridan (Dungarvan) who gillies for the Lodge.

He released the fish which weighed about 12lb & was taken on black Flying C at the top of the Island Stream on Kents.

It didn’t have sea-lice but very fresh. He saw a couple more springers there as well.

Unfortunately no picture as he doesn’t carry a camera with him.

The river is now at summer level – 0.36m on the Ballyduff gauge. Perfect fly order.

Lots of kelts being caught on flies as small as size 8.

Michael McCormack lands second salmon of 2010 season at Blackwater Lodge

Bass fishing guide Michael McCormack from Wexford with the second fish of the season from the Lodge beats. It was sea-liced & weighed in at 10.2lb.

It was taken on Silver Bullet on the Green Bank on Upper Kilmurry.

Michael saw 3 or 4 more fresh fish as well during the day.

He was the only rod out on the river today – one springer for one rod day can’t be bad!

Gavin Wishart lands first Salmon of 2010 Season

Lodge regular Gavin Wishart from Newcastle, Co. Down came down to celebrate his 40th. birthday this weekend & scooped the First Salmon of the 2010 season to be caught on the Lodge Fishery.

He was fishing yesterday (March 6th) with Connie Corcoran on Ballinlovane and took the fish on Flying C at Cloonbeg.

The fish would have been released, but was bleeding from the gills so had to be kept.

The cast before he lost what they both believe was another springer, so there were definitely a few about.

It was hardly surprising that it took us until now to catch a fish as there were only 64 rod days

for the whole month of February. There would certainly be more springers caught if there were more rods out on the river each day.

Prospects

There are more fresh fish being seen in the river in the last few days.

The river is in absolutely cracking order at the moment – even for the fly.

0.44m on the gauge so perfect fly height & clarity a good 4 feet.

The weather forecast (Metcheck) looks dry for the next 2 weeks apart from about 6mm on the 15th.

Night Walleye Fishing Great Lake Erie

Fishers of Men — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 07:40:24 +0000

Walleye Fishing Great Lake Erie

Lake Erie’s southern shore line is a excellent venue for night walleye fishing.

Treat yourself to the Trip of a lifetime.

Night walleye fishing is all together different than day fishing and will give you an adrenalin rush addiction!

Night trolling for walleye is fun and exciting. But before you can start having fun, you must be set up properly and understand every procedure thoroughly.

The advice given is to be heeded by all means with ultimate respect for the Lake, the darkness, conditions, equipment and yes, Murphy’s Law.

Huge trophy fish are readily caught in the spring and fall.
The spring night trophy season normally begins around the second week of April and lasts until the end of June.
The fall night trophy season normally begins mid October and ends around Christmas.

The dangers at night are multi-fold increased, multiplies many unforeseen dangers and is not for the faint of heart.

Most generally you will not have any help out there at night.

By all means, you must be much more responsible than you think you are normally.

There are many unique and unforeseen dangers to the boater and fisherman at night, and not for the faint of heart. Most generally you will not have any help out there at night.

By all means, you must be much more responsible than you think you are normally.

There are many basics necessary to become successful at trolling in itself, and safe boating at night.

Many people get disorientated at dark on the water and do not know how to get home.
No, your electronics are not to be solely relied on, they may go out.
I will repeat this many times, YOU MUST ASK YOURSELF constantly:

“Where am I?”
In the spring and fall when the water temperatures are in the 40 and 50 degree mark, hypothermia can and will set in very fast.

So you think you can handle the conditions and dark cold of the Nite Bite?

Let’s have a look at it:

Every night is different, and yes, every night holds a surprise in the dark!

Before even thinking about going, you need a check list, completely rig a safe-size boat and specifically organize your vessel properly and systematically.

You must take into account wave conditions in relation to your vessel, incoming weather and be prepared for any night problems that can arise when Mr. Murphy shows up.

The majority of the time you cannot see what the lake is about to do or what rouge wave is coming from far away towards you.

Because the walleyes are in so close during the spring and fall seasons, most of the time you can catch them right against the shoreline, break walls and whatever structure you have available.

Keep in mind that the heave of the Great Lake and the unstoppable wind will crab (push) you into the break walls!

Do not be under powered with a kicker for a trolling motor that you will not be able to make headway into the wind.

Everything must have its proper place and be kept there.
Lines, rods, lures, nets, coolers, safety gear, emergency equipment, etc.

Nothing can be loose or laying around on the deck.

You must be prepared to act instantly and timely always, but when a fish gets on and changes your game plan it can get very hectic.
Leave the dog at home.

You must be familiar with and have local knowledge of the area you are boating.

You must have good batteries. More than one!

If you have a weak battery it will die.

If you snag yourself with a treble it will be deep with possible multiple punctures.

This is no place for buffoons, stumble bunnies or the semi skilled weekend angler.

Leave the rookies at home on your maiden voyage.

Know all your limitations, your passengers, limitations and the limitations of your vessel and equipment. Your lives depend on it.
Here’s just a few things:

1. You must know the Colregs. You must have a look out at all times.
2. You must have all required safety equipment.
3. Life Jackets should be worn.
4. You need to know you are charging.
5. You must have all working navigational lights.
6. Leave the day gear at home.
7. Hand and deck lights must be available.
8. A chart plotter is a big bonus for working contour breaks and navigation.
9. A good fish finder is a must.
10. A good VHF radio is a must.
11. A compass is a must.
12. A set of drift socks is a must.
13. Proper rod holders.
14. A hardtop or bimini and side curtains will help extremely.
15. Extra fuel filters and other motor items.
16. You must have a working knowledge for running in line boards.

17. You must know boat maneuverability with the boards.

18. Take more than one net.

19. Have plenty of fuel.

20. You must know where you are at all times.

You must know where you are at all times.
Since you’ll be fishing at night, many extra safety concerns must be in place.
If you’re fishing a location for the first time, it is wise to be on the water during day light hours and familiarize yourself with the area, light aids and landmarks.
Contact local bait shops, get local knowledge, the up to date information, the advice is priceless.

Did I mention you can lose all visibility?

I highly recommend, if you have not boated at night, to take a charter or go out with a known experienced crew to gain the experience and confidence that is demanded from the “Dark of the Night”.
The night bite can be one of your most memorable trips ever.
Do your homework, don’t go when the weather sucks, don’t skimp on any equipment, be respectful of others and it’s the most fun you will ever have.

Sacramento River, California

Sacramento River Watershed
From the high country of the Trinity Divide, the headwaters of the Sacramento River include numerous tributaries. Its three main forks stride down from alpine slopes gaining girth and grandeur as streams and creeks converge into it. At the Sacramento River Delta, the watershed empties 31 percent of California’s total water runoff into the San Francisco Bay.

In its 384 mile journey, the mighty Sacramento River feeds Lake Siskiyou, Lake Shasta, and the Keswick Reservoir. At Lake Shasta, it is joined by the McCloud River, the Pit River, and Squaw Creek. The picturesque river pays its passage by filling the wells of towns like Mt. Shasta, Dunsmuir, Keswick, Redding, Red Bluff, and Corning.

Cradled by snow capped Mount Shasta, Shasta Lake sparkles like a gem in the sun and is one of the largest and grandest reservoirs on the west coast.

Began in 1939 by the United States Bureau of Reclamation to provide flood control, irrigation and power production for the upper Sacramento Valley, Shasta. Completed in 1944, the dam is 602 feet high with a spillway crest at 3,460 feet.

The combined flow of four great rivers: the Sacramento, the McCloud, the Pit, and Squaw Creek fill the impoundment that creates Shasta Lake. When full, the lake contains 365 miles of shoreline and 4,493,000 acre-feet of water.

Spectacular Hawaii Whale Watching Tours

Sailing along the beautiful Coast of the North Shore and watching the giant humpback whales is something you do not want to miss while visiting Hawaii.

At North Shore Catamaran Charters it is our goal to help you experience the spectacular whale watching Hawaii has to offer, while providing education about the behavior of humpback whales and their natural environment.

We keep a respectful distance to the whales. Hawaiian waters are their winter breeding grounds, where they should find a peaceful environment with little harassment by humans. However, oftentimes, the whales are the curious ones and decide to check out the boat. They can come right next to us and hover for a few minutes for some ‘human watching’.

You will never forget your time spent with these majestic humpback whales of Hawaii.

Hawaii Shark Encounters, Haleiwa, Hawaii

Hawaii Shark — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 10:50:17 +0000

Hawaii Shark Encounters, Haleiwa, Hawaii

Truly the Finest Hawaii Shark Adventure Ever!

We deal in experiences of a lifetime. It is a rare day when we do not hear ‘That was the greatest thing I have ever done’

Every day our Shark Vessels depart Haleiwa Harbor on Oahu’s North Shore. After a three mile, 15 minute boat ride, we arrive at our shark grounds.

Within minutes the fun begins. Drawn to the surface by the sound of the boat’s engine, the sharks almost never fail to pay us a visit. In fact, their presence is so consistent that if you don’t see a shark, you don’t pay!

The arrival of the first shark signals the time for the first ‘victims’ to get in the cage. The water here is around 400 feet deep and as clear and blue as the open ocean. Just getting in is a bit of a thrill. Once in the cage, the big plexiglas windows are nearly transparent, so when that 10 foot long Galapagos shark presses his nose against the glass, it looks like he is coming right on in. Not to worry though, he’s not getting in. In fact, press your nose against the glass, and you will be just one quarter of an inch away from the business end of one big shark!

There is absolutely no diving experience required for this veritable shark diving fest. Nor is there an age limit. But just because everyone can do it, doesn’t mean the experienced diver will be bored. Far from it! From underwater pros to people who have never even been in the ocean, our adventure is for everyone!

Reynisvatn, Reykjavik

Reynisvatn, Reykjavik

Reykjavik is a great fishing town, but what is unique is the delightful looking red-bellied Arctic Trout.

Ice fishing for these in a beguiling wilderness which lies just ten minutes’ drive from downtown Reykjavik is one of the great joys of fishing travel.

The gillie, Ole, guts the fish and books a table for you when you finish. Once, Björk sat at the next table admiring our fish as we ate.

There is an amazing Black Rock landscape in the bay at Seltjarnes, which would be a good spot to restart the Cod War by catching fish and putting them straight into a fish kettle.

Hakaarl is a unique dish to Iceland, and very likely to remain that way. It is rotted shark meat, a throwback to the days when burying food for the winter seemed like a good idea. It is absolutely revolting, and sells at deli prices in the market in Reykjavik. The Icelanders take this dish very seriously.

Harbour, Stockholm

Fishing in the harbour of Stockholm is free and, if you’re lucky, you can catch world-class salmon beginning their run up the river.

I use the word harbour loosely. It is one of the prettiest places in the world.

If you’re unlucky, like me, you will catch the same two-inch perch with every single cast. This is a stunning location, and catching a perch every cast provided a lot of fun for the bystanders. I even let a couple of people catch the wretched thing themselves.

Saltwater pike are unique to this part of Sweden, and grow larger than their freshwater cousins.

The Swedish probably win the creative-things-to-do-with-herring award against stiff competition in Northern Europe. It would be a shame to leave Sweden without taking a few herrings along to a picklers, and making a few sweet-pickled roll-mop herrings.

The lake is stocked with rainbow trout, primarily the Eagle Lake strain. Other species present include brown, bullhead and pumpkinseed.

In September 2007 the California Department of Fish and Game treated Lake Davis with rotenone to rid the reservoir of the predatory and invasive northern pike (Esox lucius), and restore the reservoir’s excellent trout fishery.

During a thorough environmental review process conducted jointly with the U.S. Forest Service, the Department worked closely with the local community. Currently, the reservoir area is open and restocking with rainbow trout has begun.

Carp Fishing in France With Cretelakes

Cretelakes Carp Fishing in France

Cretelakes is a stunning carp fishing holiday venue set in 60 acres, it is located in the beautiful department of Aisne in Picardy northeast France just 3 hours from Calais.

These former gravel pits were created about 25 years ago and were stocked with carp and other course fish around this time. Carp fishing at the venue commenced in November 2008 and early indications suggest there are many big carp already present with fish to 50+ already landed. These carp have been left to thrive in there natural environment without fishing pressure for two decades!

In the winter of 2008/2009 we added a further 850 carp to forty pound, all uncaught mirrors from one of the best sources in France. We believe that added to the original stock Cretelakes will be among the very best carp fishing lakes France has to offer. In March 2010 we will be running organized all inclusive coach trips to and from Cretelakes with food packages included.

Add to this the excellent onsite facilities which include an onsite restaurant with sky TV, a shower block with four showers and two toilets, and two full time English bailiffs. Food packages are available for our 2009 season which will be on a drive and survive basis. So if its carp fishing in France on beautiful French lakes with big uncaught carp you’re looking for then Cretelakes is for you.

Skagway Fishing Charters, Skagway, Alaska

Pamela — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 17:47:08 +0000

Skagway Fishing Charters, Skagway, Alaska

Skagway sits under the mighty mountain peaks that surround the Upper Lynn Canal. Glaciers peer down at the blue-green ocean water, which holds life in such abundance that it stirs the senses to a time forgotten by men, a time when the ocean’s bounty provided both mystery and sustenance.

From the Gold Rush of 1898 to the present day tourism boom, Skagway fishing has gone largely unchanged. Lack of commercial fishing combined with modern day environmental efforts, like raising hatchery salmon for release into the wild, makes Skagway a prime Alaskan destination for the pursuit of fish by anglers longing to tangle with the famed wild Alaskan salmon.

Skagway fishing includes fishing for four of the five Pacific salmon species. Humpies, Chum, Coho and the mighty Chinook or ‘King’ Salmon. Dockside Charters, owned and operated by Captain Greg Jones, provides years of experience fishing these legendary waters combined with professional commitment to ensure that every charter meets the needs of its customer.

Skagway Salmon Fishing Charters begin in the small boat harbor near where the cruise ships dock at the southern end of town. Unlike many other Alaskan fishing destinations, the fish are a VERY short ride from the harbor, often less than 15 minutes away. More time with the lines in the water mean more of a chance to make that catch of a lifetime.

Captain Greg provides all the gear, bait and know-how to make a Skagway Salmon Fishing Charter an experience one does not forget. Captain Greg believes that when anglers pay good money to go on a fishing charter, they want to ‘fish.’ Many an angler has been frustrated with charter captains who do all the fishing themselves and treat the customer like a child who has never held a rod of his own.

With Dockside Charters, the client decides how much or little he or she wants to participate in the fish catching process. You can bait your own hook, or even bring your own favorite gear. You can hook the fish and fight them to the boat. Captain Greg will give you the necessary hints and pointers to make your day a success.

If you are not as savvy with the rod and reel, he will do as much as you want him to do to aid and assist you to make your Skagway salmon fishing charter an unforgettable experience.

Captain Greg also offers a service for shipping your catch to be smoked and sent just about anywhere via mail, so bragging about catching a big Alaskan king can include a fine dinner for family and friends back home.

If catch-and-release is more your style, Captain Greg will handle the fish with care to ensure its continued survival in the wild.

Trophy Kings and halibut are not the only fish that can be caught on Skagway fishing charters. Silver salmon are renowned for their fierce fighting and are considered the hardest fighting of the salmon family pound for pound. From early September until the end of the season and beyond, these fish can be targeted by your Skagway fishing guide and offer a thrill and opportunity unique to the Skagway area.

Chum Salmon of unparalleled size are frequently caught on Skagway fishing charters when they begin their run in mid-August. They lack the glamour and flavor of their salmonid cousins, but a 15 plus pound ‘dog’ fights with the same intensity and offer a challenge for an angler who wants to try something a little different.

Lingcod, Dolly Varden Char, and rockfish are other predators of the deep that your Skagway fishing guide can identify when they end up on the end of your line.

Whatever fishing experience you desire Captain Greg is a Skagway fishing guide who can turn your Alaskan vacation into an angling experience you will never forget. Make your dreams of fishing the heralded waters of the north a reality by spending a day with Dockside Charters.

Belle Isle Estate, Lisbellaw, Enniskillen

Andy Nicholson — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 07:50:57 +0000

Belle Isle Estate, Lisbellaw, Enniskillen

Imagine yourself on an almost undiscovered 250-acre island in the heart of the Emerald Isle, with miles of fishing available just for you. It gets better. This island, surrounded by spectacular views of Upper Lough Erne, offers some of the best angling for pike, roach, bream in Europe.

How good? Well, catches of 200lb of bream are commonplace. Roach can be caught every cast. And one party of four anglers caught more than 70 pike in under two days, with the biggest at nearly 30lb. People like Chris Tarrant and John Baily, who have experienced this beautiful destination, rate it very highly indeed.

This secret paradise is Belle Isle in County Fermanagh. At the heart of the estate is a stunning 17th century castle, where you can stay in absolute luxury. The Castle, has a magnificent banqueting hall, elegant drawing room and eight individually styled bedrooms. If you want to be on the water’s edge, stay in one of the delightful cottages, or hide yourself away in the Walled Garden Cottage, situated in the secret garden. Other accommodation includes a magnificent Coach House, or sumptuous apartments within the courtyard. Whichever you choose, the quality is superb.

Belle Isle offers both bank and boat fishing. A two-minute walk puts you in the legendary bream swims which can be exclusively reserved, so you can prebait with the confidence that those fish are waiting just for you.

It’s not only bream. Roach, perch and hybrids are prolific. Again, catches of 70lb can be taken without putting a bream in your net. At peak time in May and June, it’s possible to take double this weight.

With all those other fish, it’s no surprise that pike fishing is out of this world. The pike come readily to all techniques: fly, jerk baits, lures and traditional methods. Specimens of over 30lb have been taken. It is tremendous ‘doubles’ water.

Anglers staying at Belle Isle have the added bonus of booking one of the well-equipped boats moored by the Bridge House. For disabled anglers, a special boat is available. There is no charge for fishing on the estate and boats with outboard engines are only £20 per day.

Nykala Rapids, Haukivuori

Markku Suonio — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 13:00:22 +0000

Nykala Rapids, The Koskentila Estate, Haukivuori

‘What a wonderful place and a great concept for the serious fisherman, and so many other interesting things to do. We wish we had discovered it (Koskentila) the first day we were in Finland.’

Gary and Monica Wescott – The Turtle Expedition, Unltd. – California, USA

The Nykälä Rapids are a varied resort for fishing in Finland in the Haukivuori region 40 km north-west of Mikkeli.The Nykälä Rapids belong to the system called the Mäntyharju-route and is situated on the upper course of it.

The fishing area is 4 km long with 5 rapids for brown trout and a separate small lake for large pike (record 15,3 kg).Fish include large brown trout, grayling, pike, perch, ide and bream. The main catch is the brown trout (Salmo trutta). During last season 1085 brown trout were caught by 1120 fishermen. The Nykälä Rapids are number one in Finland for brown trout.

The lower part of the river (2 km) with its four rapids is dedicated to fly-fishing and spin-fishing.

Fishing from the boat is possible in the upper part of the river (2 km) or in a small lake ‘Pieni-Poikimo’ (6 hectares).

The upper part of the river is excellent for exciting torch fishing at nights. Along the fishing area there are bridges, jetties, campfires, a lean-to-shelter, an outhouse. In the courtyard of the estate there is a smoke oven/grill.

Fishing trips are organized to lake Kyyvesi (133 km², 400 islands), well-known for its big pike and pike-perch.

The fishing season continues until the waters freeze at the beginning of December and fishing brown trout is allowed even during 11 September – 15 November

The Koskentila Estate is the center of the fishing area. It is an over 400-year-old traditional Finnish farm now renovated and dedicated to serious fishermen. The Koskentila Estate consists of ten different 130-year-old buildings and the surrounding land and has true historical and scenic value. In the main building there is a café, a kiosk and a reception where you can buy fishing permits and hire a boat or fishing equipment.

The livingroom for the guests is a huge log room with a massive original oven and open fire.

In the reception room there is also a library with books and magazines about fishing and catch statistics.

Accommodation is in the small traditional log cabins around the main building. They have only modest conveniences; heating and lightning with electricity, a fridge and a drying cupboard for wet clothes. Each cabin is furnished with six beds. Total 38 beds. Overnighting is also possible in the lean-to-shelter, a tent or a caravan.

Sauna with an open fire in the dressing room, showers and toilets and kitchen are in separate building.

Kilcoleman Fishery, Enniskean, County Cork

David Lamb — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 12:43:37 +0000

Kilcoleman Fishery, Enniskean, County Cork

Kilcoleman is situated on The Bandon River which flows through some of the most scenic countryside in the South West of Ireland. For centuries it has been recognized as one of the best angling locations in County Cork. It is 27 miles from Cork airport, and 6 miles west of the town of Bandon. The owner combines a life-long enthusiasm for fly fishing having inherited his skills from successive generations of fly angling ancestors dating back to the early seventeen hundreds when his family, The Lamb’s, first purchased Kilcoleman.

The Fishery is privately owned and totals 1.2 miles. We also have access to a further 3 miles of private water 6 miles up stream from Kilcoleman. The Bandon River flows through The Kilcoleman Park Estate which totals 240 acres of park and agricultural land. There are ten named salmon pools. There are also excellent stocks of wild brown trout which average 12ozs with over 1lbs not unusual.

The season opens on the 1st of March and closes on the 30th of September. Fishing for salmon is fly only. Trout fishing is fly only on the whole of the Bandon river at all times.

There is a bag limit of 2 salmon and 6 trout per day per rod. We strongly encourage a ‘catch and release’ policy for salmon hence the limit of 2 per day. Average annual catches of salmon over the past 10 years has been 103. It is difficult to define ‘which month is best’ because sport is very dependent on rainfall.

Kilcoleman is renowned for its hospitality. The owners David and Patricia Lamb make a particular effort to make their guests feel at home. Kilcoleman is just one of a few private fisheries which only permits fly for salmon throughout the entire season. If you require a memorable holiday in a peaceful, un-spoilt environment, with an abundance of wild life, and the added bonus of Irish Hospitality, and all at an affordable price, then Kilcoleman can offer you something quite unique

Graham Dean Fly Fishing, Taupo, NZ

Graham Dean — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 08:02:08 +0000

Graham Dean Fly Fishing, Taupo, New Zealand

I have fly fished the rivers and lakes of Taupo and the central north island for over twenty years and have been a full time guide for eleven of them, in this time I have gained a wealth of local knowledge. With this knowledge and time on the water I can arrange and guide you on an unforgettable angling experience.

Local Rivers [May - December]

Fly fishing for hard fighting wild trout on their annual migration from lake Taupo to the head waters of its tributaries, these fish have an average weight of 4 to 5lb.

Floating line and upstream nymph is the preferred method.

Fly fishing at its best.

Remote Wilderness Streams[October-May]

These streams offer more challenging fly fishing where you can test your skill on wild Trout just waiting for a well presented dry fly or nymph.

These streams run through some of the most scenic country in the central north island. Transport is by 4×4 vehicles or helicopter.

Whangapeki Station [October-May]

3,000 acres of private land and river runs through it. This area offers some of the best drive to water I know, you can even stay over night in very comfortable cabins, the evening rise can be exceptional. This ranch also offers small game hunting for rabbits, hare and turkey, and for the more serious hunter, free range hunting for red deer.

Lake Otamangakau [December - April]

This small hydro lake produces some of the largest wild trout I have caught anywhere, the largest of these was a 34 inch 17.5lb rainbow. The food in this lake is insect based so casting small nymphs and dry flies on very long leaders is the most successful method. The brown trout fishing from the shore offers some great sight fishing for larger browns that cruise the margins, this lake is also famous for its cicada hatch with a little breeze these large insects end up on the surface of the lake, some of the rises can be seen 100 yards away. The opportunity for that fish of a lifetime.

Blackwater Lodge Guesthouse & Salmon Fishery

Ian Powell — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 07:49:20 +0000

The Lodge

Blackwater Lodge Guesthouse and Salmon Fishery

Angling for Salmon on Ireland’s Cork Blackwater river. Stay in a specialised fishing lodge dedicated to salmon angling. Fish for wild Atlantic Salmon in the heart of the South of Ireland on exclusive private beats on the world-renowned River Blackwater, Ireland’s most prolific salmon river.

The Lodge’s website is unique in that it has a daily updated river report page: http://www.ireland-salmon-fishing.net/FishingReport/fishingreport.htm

Another unique feature of the Lodge is the in-house smokery – the only fishing lodge in Britain & Ireland to offer this service.

Blackwater Lodge is an informal, comfortable lodge-style establishment in a magnificent location overlooking the world-famous Munster Blackwater - one of Europe’s most spectacular salmon rivers. It’s a no-nonsense, friendly place, where the comfort and enjoyment of salmon anglers is the top priority – truly a specialist sporting lodge.

For years, the Blackwater Lodge has been the hideaway of salmon anglers from all over Europe and North America. They return again and again because of our relaxed atmosphere and beautiful location.

Historically the Lodge was formerly the railway station for the village of Ballyduff. It was built in 1882 & the line eventually closed in 1967. Construction of the Lodge as we know it now began in 1971 around the old station buildings.

The Lodge is Ireland’s premier salmon fishing lodge. It has approximately 14 miles of private and exclusive salmon fishing on the Cork Blackwater. This is a very High record fishery with approx. 1,000 salmon caught per season in recent years, but up to 1,500 per season in the last 20 years.

With the banning of the Irish drift net fishery from 2007 on, the benefits are already being seen. Far more fish are running the river in the summer, & the average weight is much higher than when the nets operated. Already, there has been a dramatic improvement in catches and the greater number of fish in the river has also meant that the percentage of fish caught on fly has been also considerably increased.

All methods are currently allowed, but daily beat rota caters especially for fly fishers.

The Lodge’s website is unique in that it has a daily updated river report page which gives details of the river conditions & the fish being caught at least once per day & often more. The Website Fishing report page can be accessed directly on: http://www.ireland-salmon-fishing.net/FishingReport/fishingreport.htm

The Lodge controls 15 beats (approximately 14 miles of fishing) on the best reaches of the river between Lismore to Mallow. This covers some 40 river miles, starting only 3 miles above the tidal limit. The Lodge offers both guesthouse and self-catering cottage accommodation. It has a lovely lounge with a panoramic view over the Blackwater river. It has its own tackle shop, smokery & provides guides & tuition in all forms of salmon fishing.

The Lodge is owned & run by salmon fishing fanatics Ian Powell and his wife Glenda Powell.

Glenda Powell executes a perfect snakeroll cast.

Fly casting tuition is the Lodge speciality, from beginner right up to the most advanced spey casting with Glenda. She is one of the most highly qualified female instructors in the world, having both Salmon & Trout qualifications with the Association of Professional Game Angling Instructors – Ireland. She was also crowned Emerald World Masters Ladies Salmon Distance Champion in September, 2006.

Glenda’s Tuition Page:
http://www.ireland-salmon-fishing.net/Tuition/Tuition.htm

The Lodge is very accessible as it is situated only one hour from Cork, 2 hours from Shannon & Rosslare and 4 hours from Dublin.

Call or contact Ian or Glenda anytime to discuss any aspect of the Lodge. (Sometimes they’re not available if the fishing is good!).

CREEDY LAKES, Crediton, Devon

Stewart Turner — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 08:29:57 +0000

Creedy Lakes, Devon

Creedy Lakes are set amid 14 acres of established estate woodland, lying in a natural clay basin along the Creedy valley. The idyllic surroundings are rich in fauna and flora with many small birds brave enough to sit on your rods and eat from your hand, you may even spot the darting kingfisher or a stray roaming deer, or watch the busy squirrels, whilst relaxing in this beautiful setting.

Once belonging to Creedy Park mansion, the spring fed lakes provided pleasure and sport for the gentry, owned by the Davie family for several generations including Sir John Davie who was three times mayor of Exeter and who took the kingfisher for his family crest. Eventually in 1976 the lakes were sold and are now owned and managed by the Turner family.

Most of the swims are pathed, all are level and screened to provide some privacy. The nearest swim is approximately 20yds from the car park and toilets with several swims being accessible for wheelchairs. Access by car for disabled anglers is strictly by arrangement. Assistance is gladly available for those who require it, please do not hesitate to telephone and ask.

The waters are rated as moderate fishing (By the BK Guide) and aim to provide good sport for the serious and specimen angler and also cater for the pleasure angler.

The main water contains the larger specimens covering 4.5 acres with both central and corner islands with water depths ranging from 3ft in the shallows to 12ft at the weir adjacent to the old boathouse. The prolific stock consists predominantly of common carp to 29lbs 4ozs (May 1997), mirror carp to 24lbs 14ozs, koi carp to 18lbs 3ozs and tench to 7lbs 8ozs.

The second water is half an acre and well stocked with carp to 14lbs and tench to 5lbs with water depths between 3ft and 5ft, providing good action for the less experienced angler.

Popular methods include fishing boilie over mixed beds of particles and pellets, PVA stringers and bags, the method and not forgetting the traditional baits, maggot, luncheon meat, sweetcorn and bread. Local home-made boillies and tinned baits are for sale on site.

The lakes are open from March through to early January

We hope you have an enjoyable time fishing at Creedy Lakes …. and remember ….

‘A bad day’s fishing beats a good day working’

Varzina River Lodge, Kola Peninsula

Marjut — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 07:50:21 +0000

Varzina River Lodge, Kola Peninsula

The very best flyfishing in Kola Peninsula, arctic Russia for large Atlantic salmon & trophy wild brown trout!

Untouched wild nature, clear water and clean air combined with excellent fishing make the Varzina Lodge truly a world class fishing destination.

The Lodge main building contains our gourmet kitchen, a spacious dining room and a fully supplied lounge bar. It is also equipped with a satellite-operated TV, phone, fax, and e-mail facilities. A specialized fly-shop is also available.There are two separate saunas with hot showers available daily. A four-person cabin with its own sauna and a small living room is also available. The Varzina experience is limited to satisfy 16 anglers per week.

All our rivers support wild populations of really large and truly strong Atlantic salmon. Fish up to 35 lbs. and more, crystal clear water, great variety of rivers all with huge number of fishable pools – These are the elements that combine to make the unforgettable Varzina salmon experience.

We can offer easy fishing and instruction to any beginner and most challenging pools to the demanding salmon connoisseur.

Daily helicopter flights take fishermen to the pools that are at their prime condition for fishing . There is one experienced guide available for each two fishermen. Our international guides know the area well and can help with fish spotting, fly selection and casting problems as necessary.

The first early salmon are all huge. They run from June to early July. Then the mid-sized fish follow and finally also the numerous grilse fill all the pools. Fresh run, sea-liced fish can be found even high up in all the rivers throughout the whole season.

The Varzina brown trout fishing is really one of the seven wonders of the fishing world. No other place in the world can offer brown trout fishing of this quality and variety. Otherwise normal trophy trout is just one average fish in our rivers.

Specially late in the season there is no end to the trout averaging well over 22 inches. These are really wild, heavyweight fighting fish that will amaze even the most jaded trout angler. We just might call your sixth (of the day) double figure fish a trophy…

The excellent fishing combined with first class accommodation, service and guiding will make your holiday one that you’ll really remember forever.

Anglers Adventuras, Rio Grande, Tierra del Fuego

Fishing the Rio Grande through Estancia Maria Behety and lodging in town.

Magallanes Flyfishing, Tierra del Fuego

Marcos — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 06:58:45 +0000

Magallanes Flyfishing, Tierra del Fuego, Patagonia

Magallanes Fly Fishing offers in Tierra del Fuego, Chile, the best brown and sea trout fishing in Chilean Patagonia. Rafael González, one of the most experienced local guides and new Cameron Lodge, invites you to fish these fabulous waters, with more than forty kilometres of river to your disposal.

The Rio Grande is the largest river on the Tierra del Fuego island and is well known for its huge sea trout and the solitude of the countryside.

Our Lodge is the Estancia, Cameron’s recently refurbished administration house, built on a high cliff, with a great view over the Darwin Range and less than one hundred yards from the Río Grande. This Estancia has about fifty kilometers of frontage on the north side of the Río Grande (all the way down stream to the Argentinean border)

You will especially enjoy the solitude of having this splendid fishery to yourself with the chance of fishing yet unnamed pools where few outsiders have ever cast a fly

It’s an excellent river for flyfishing, sometimes more challenging and rewarding than downstream in Argentina, due to the different techniques and finesse that have to be employed. The water is much clearer, and maintains it’s clarity, even in higher flows. The fishing is also rewarding because there’s always action.

In this section of the river sea run browns average ten pounds, with monsters up to eighteen/twenty pounds. On occasion we’ll even land really huge fish, well over twelve kilos (twenty six pounds)!!! Unlike the lower Argentinean section of the river, there are also resident river browns up to the six pound class, beautifully coloured fish that readily take our flies.

In addition, anglers will find some healthy, “chromer” lake run browns, with the shape of a rugby ball, that enter the river from the Blanco lake for our enjoyment. And, completing the ‘Grand Slam’, there are rainbows too! You will see them some meters from you, down stream, feeding on the aquatic insects you kick up from the bottom of the river. It’s something to be seen!!!

The fishing season on the Río Grande runs from October through April. In November and December the fishing is very good, but the peak months are January, February, March and April.

RIVER ARMU, Primorye

Lucky Tours — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 20:41:16 +0000

River Armu

For serious anglers who wish to escape from civilization Lucky Tour has designed a trout and grayling fishing tour on the Armu, a river that runs through an ecologically clean area of Primorye, the Maritime Province of the Russian Far East.

The river runs at 2.5-4.5 miles per hour into the Bolshaya Ussurka river, which itself flows into the Ussuri river, a tributary of the great Armu river, (10th longest in the world), which eventually flows into the Tatar Channel. Our Armu river is about 7 ft deep, and over 250 ft across at the mouth.The water is crystal pure, guaranteed by the presence of numerous stone-flies which only live in pure water. (Local black stone-flies thrive in the Armu and grow enromous to almost 1,5 inches long!!!)

In addition to the two species of trout and one of grayling in the Armu river, the prize fish is the famed (Hucho Taimen ‘Master of Siberian rivers’) which can weigh in at 150 pounds and measure over six feet long. These Goliaths are scarce; but the more usual 30 pound taimen will still give you a good fight. Note that most taimen have to be released.

All spinning and fly-fishing techniques are suitable but remember that you will be fishing in fast flowing streams of the Armu and the Bolshaya Ussurka. Shallow water and bank fishing from small river islands will be the usual pattern, but our fishing tour will also include drift-boat fishing and boat fishing in the quieter reaches of the rivers. Heavily wooded banks make it almost impossible to fish from the river bank.

We offer you a unique local fishing technique which is called ‘mouse’ fishing. At night, mice, squirrels and other mouse-like small animals become active and often fall down from the bank and riverside trees into the water. While these small animals can swim in the water, they often become prey to the trout. ‘Mouse’ fishing, simulating this habitual night-time activity, is spin fishing with a foldable mouse-plug. ‘Mouse’ fishing is a common local technique to catch the Taimen and is also a very effective method to hook the angler’s heart.

Fishing season:

Open water trout and grayling fishing is available between the last week of March and the first week of November, with a three-week break in May during the spawning season. Mosquitoes and other bloodsucking flying insects are numerous between July and 15th of August, and nearly absent before June and after 15th September. The golden season for fishing and exploring the Taiga lasts between mid-September and early November, when the river closes for the winter.

We take great pride in our specialty tours and do everything to ensure satisfaction and complete safety for visitors

Our guides will make sure you have an enjoyable experience to remember.

Wildfly Charters, Vieques

Viequescapt — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 16:47:34 +0000

Wildfly Charters, Vieques

Welcome to Vieques, Puerto Rico, an unspoiled step back in time with no fishing pressure on its miles of stunning flats. As an island with fewer than 10,000 people and no commercialization, Vieques is a remarkable change of pace from the hustle, expense, and crowded waters that have become the landscape of todays more well known fishing destinations.

After successfully guiding in Key West for ten years, I relocated to Vieques in the summer of 2005, leaving behind the ever increasing number of boats chasing a limited amount of fish each season. What I found down here was an island where simply seeing another boat on the water is the exception, not the rule, and all of the great flats species are available.

Tarpon, bonefish, and permit are three of the most common targets along our mangrove shorelines and sheltered bays. Snook, jacks, snapper, and numerous other fish that have never seen a fly are also found throughout the year.

On my charters, I provide everything needed for one or two anglers to spend a day on the water using fly or spinning gear. No previous flats fishing experience is necessary and I gladly provide instruction to beginners.

My boat is brand new for this season, a 2006 Beavertail B-2 powered by a 50 horsepower Yamaha outboard. This is the finest flats boat on the market and mine is the only one in all of Puerto Rico. It floats as advertised in less than six inches of water. This combination will get us to the shallowest waters quickly, safely, and comfortably, with maximum time spent fishing. Sightseeing, bird watching, and photography charters are also available for non-anglers. Please call or e-mail for more details.

Wildfly Charters is a full service company and can arrange everything for your trip to Vieques, from accommodations and car rentals to transportation from the airport or ferry dock. My wife Amanda, working through Island Real Estate, manages nearly a dozen rental houses here on Vieques. These properties range from a basic two bedroom fishing camp, to a small estate set on a dozen acres with a pool, tennis court, and private beach. Rentals are made on a weekly basis and the right house can be found to suit any budget. For shorter stays, we’ll be glad to arrange rooms at one of several excellent small hotels on the island.

Visitors to Vieques for the first time will find a taste of what the Florida Keys were almost a century ago, with enough of the modern world thrown in for comfort. Men and women on horseback, riding right alongside the cars, are an everyday sight on our roads, none of which has a single traffic light. A Jeep rental will provide access to any of more than 40 beaches covering the entire Vieques shoreline. This will also allow do-it-yourself anglers a good shot at some of our prized local species. Many great shops, bars, and restaurants are located right on the water without any brand name chains to be found.

An Eco-tourist paradise, Vieques, Puerto Rico is a welcoming, undiscovered escape from the overcrowded and commercialized islands so common in the 21st century Caribbean.

HEDLEY’S TROUT FARM, Belgrave, Ontario

Hedley — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 16:23:12 +0000

Hedleys Trout Farm, Belgrave, Ontario

Rainbow Trout Hatchery and Fish-Out Pond (Hedley’s Trout Farm) is located in the heartland of Ontario’s West Coast. It is nestled in the rolling hills of the Wawanosh Valley, Huron County, midway between the towns of Wingham and the Lake Huron port of Goderich. The area is blessed with rich flora and scenery. The Maitland, Nine Mile, Bayfield Rivers and their cold water tributary make for some of this area’s renowned fishing.

As our name implies, we are both a hatchery (hatching and grow-out) and an operator of a public fee fishing pond.

Our deep overflowing pond is fed by cold underground pure spring water. Because the pond is spring fed and quite deep, the water remains cool all summer. Cool water allows trout to thrive. The pond is restocked many times a year with trout selected from our hatchery.

Most are rainbow trout 12″ to 30″ (1 to 10 lb.). Brook Trout (Brook Char) and Brown are also stocked as they become available

We have installed an air bubbler to keep the water from freezing in the Winter. Therefore, we are basically open 365 days of year for your fishing enjoyment

We endeavour to remain open all day on weekends and most weekdays. However, we may close around 2:00 PM in midsummer. Trout bite best early in the day and are not very active on those bright hot afternoons when the sun is shining directly down onto the pond. ‘Good beach days are poor trout fishing days.’ A telephone call may be in order to confirm conditions.

Everything you need, beside your rod, reel and bait is provided free (hooks, landing nets, hook extractors and pails).

Fly fishermen are most welcome and an area is set aside for their fishing.

Van Harinxma Canal, Leeuwarden, Friesland

Mat — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 07:41:49 +0000

Fishing on the Van Harinxma Canal, Leeuwarden, Friesland

Zander/Perchpike: The Van Harinxma-canal and its side-canals are good waters. Especially bridges and places where other waters converge with the canal are good spots.

Fishing near to obstacles works well, and lots of zander are caught fishing very near to the banks (from 10 cm up to 2 meters from the bank) because the bottom forms a slope there.

Techniques and baits: floatfishing with live bait (which is forbidden, but hey…) or deadbait (not forbidden) works well. Fish a few inches above the bottom. This is the classic Dutch technique for zander.

Artificial baits, especially plastic baits like twisters, shads, slugs etc. have come into fashion the last 5 years and have gotten MANY fish on the bank.

Leeuwarden City Parks, Friesland

Mat — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 07:32:41 +0000

Fishing in Leeuwarden City Parks, Friesland

Grasscarp (I think the English translation would be Chinese Carp) can be caught in almost every park in the city. In fact, in most city parks the Chinese carp have outnumbered “normal” carp.

Techniques: They can be caught in numerous ways, but I would recommend floatfishing. Make a few groundbaited spots and move around. I usually spend a max. of half an hour on each spot, because the carp are mostly patrolling the banks for food. Cast your float near obstacles, corners etc, and as close to the bank as possible. Bolt/rig fishing is of course possible too, but it’s less mobile.

Baits: breadflake, breadcrust (floating or sinking), dough, sweetcorn, pellets, boilies (after introducing), even a few grass leaves… You name it, they’ll eat it.

These carp seem to be quite stupid: I’ve had several occasions on which I got one in the net after a fight of 5 minutes, and ten minutes later I caught another one a yard or two from the first spot.

Locations: all cityparks in the whole city of Leeuwarden.

The Boathouse, Whitley Bay

imac — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 06:58:35 +0000

The Boathouse, Whitley Bay

The Boathouse is located at the bottom of the slope at the Pitch and Putt golf course on Whitley Bay sea front. Park in the small car park and go to the bottom of the slope.

A hundred yard cast puts you into the fish, but this mark is notorious for fishing on a big Easterly sea. Fish last 2 hours of the flood and the first 2 hours of the ebb.

Once the tide has dropped, about a hundred yards to the left of the Boathouse is a low water mark called Skitters Skeer. This mark is only visible at low water and only accessible on very big tides. It’s a small rocky skeer/island which requires some wading about an hour before low water. It is fished on really big Easterly seas, but is a highly productive mark. It is very small so only half a dozen anglers can fish it.

Best baits are worm, crab and mussel. A very short lob is the order of the day-no more than 60 yards puts you into the fish and the bites are usually unmistakable. Do not attempt to fish this mark on the flood after low water. After low water you must get back onto the safety of the beach.

St.Mary’s Prom, Whitley Bay

imac — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 06:44:23 +0000

St.Mary's Prom, Whitley Bay

St Mary’s prom is a very good mark to fish from the last 2 hours of the flood to the first 2 hours of the ebb.

Fish the bottom corner nearest the beach. The bottom is mixed, but can be quite heavy at times. A big chuck is not essential as a 60-80 yard lob will put you into the fish feeding area.

Big worm baits or crab is best for fish and the main species is codling.

The area usually fishes best once darkness has fallen but, in big seas, the waves can come over the prom, so care must be taken to observe the conditions.

South Beach, Blyth, Tyne & Wear

imac — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 09:47:28 +0000

South Beach, Blyth, Tyne & Wear

Like most stretches of beach on this coast, Blyth Beach is best fished at at low-tide, at night and in strong seas.

Access from Car Park just left of frame behind the dunes.

Walk North along beach for access to Blyth Pier. (Good Mackerel spot when they’re passing!)

On rising tide head south towards Seaton Sluice where beach slopes more steeply above the shoreline allowing holes to open up.

Ice Fishing, Vladivostok

Lucky Tours — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 17:42:03 +0000

Ice Fishing, Vladivostock

What’s ice fishing?

Ice fishing is quite peculiar. Multitudes of local residents and visitors go out on the ice in Vladivostok, for fun or sustenance. On some days, solid ice on less distant bays around the city looks like a busy main street. Yet, there’s room enough for everyone, and there’re places where you can have a small bay or inlet a mile across all to yourself (and your guide).

The common misconception is that ice fishing is a sedentary sport: all you have to do is bore a hole in the ice and wait with your rod for the fish to bite. In fact it is not so. Shoals of fish tend to move around under the ice in search of food and fleeing predators. Anglers often have to follow the fish, walking around and making new holes in the ice.

Our ice fishing tour is available in two versions: in an easily accessible (but not overcrowded) location off the Russki Island, and in a remote area about a hundred miles south of Vladivostok.

Fish: The feature species are sole and two varieties of smelt, both large and small. The larger variety, zubar (‘the toothed one’) is up to 25 cm/10 in long, while smaller korushka is rarely longer than 5 in. The best fishing method is with a seven-hook short rod; bits of a plastic bag or soft foam plastic are a good enough bait.

The sole makes a fine catch. It bites on ‘winter’ sea worm and can be anywhere between 20 and 35 cm (under 1 ft) long.

Angling gear: The rod is very special: about 1 ft long (plastic or bamboo), with a soft plastic handle. Do not worry if you don’t have a rod, we’ve got them right here a-plenty.

Another obligatory item is a ‘fishing box’, a box tipped with felt at one end, about 12′ by 15′ by 25′ which serves as a food and bait container, then becomes a warm seat (this is when felt is handy), and then doubles as a fish container on the way back home.

But the only sort of gear you must bring with you is lots of warm clothing: you must keep warm for hours in the cold. You can safely expect between – 10 and – 18 degrees Celsius in a bitter wind, so wool underwear, a warm hat and an anorack are required. Your anorack or warm greatcoat should have a hood and extra long sleeves to keep your hands inside.

Fishing regulations: Fishing is free. Smelt, sole and other species may be kept on a limited basis for food.

Fishing season: In coastal waters, the ice sets and matures to over 5 inches by mid-December and remains firm and safe till at least the end of February, in some years even well into March. The best time is right after the ice becomes solid and thick enough to walk, and just before it breaks afloat, that is in early-mid December and from late February through early March. An experienced guide will make sure you don’t go on ice too thin for walking.

Dumbarton Pier, Fremont

sturiper — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 17:23:21 +0000

Dumbarton Pier

Fish this pier in the winter and spring for a variety of perch: pileperch, black seaperch, redtail surfperch, and white seaperch. Use small hooks and either pile worms or small pieces of shrimp or clams for bait. Be sure to keep the bait near the bottom.

During the fall try for silver or walleye surfperch using pieces of anchovy while fishing the mid-depth areas under the pier.

During the summer to early fall try cut anchovies on the bottom using a high/low leader for kingfish (white croaker) and an occasional flatfish

Put-in on any one of three swift forks, to float quickly through the mountains on this very scenic river. Good fishing for salmon (lots of chums, sockeye and pink, some coho and maybe Masu?). Excellent fishing for big rainbow trout and charr (mostly dollies and some Kundzha. Lots of wildlife-bears, ducks and eagles.

Can be flyfished for much of its length, but intermittent large deep pools from mid-section down would best be probed with spinning gear.

This river fishes best in August and September.

Our team came together by good fortune because of love of travel, adventure and Kamchatka’s beautiful wilderness. In recent years we all have been avid outdoorsmen gaining our experience on the rivers and mountains of Kamchatka, Altai, Tuva, Tyan-Shan, Caucasus, and the Urals. We all are welded together in friendship, reliability, a passion for adventure and hunger for discovery.

In the late 1980s we received our first visitors from the Baltic States, East Germany and Czechoslovakia. In 1991 we were the first on Kamchatka to offer a fishing tour for American, Italian, Australian and Russian guests. Our guides have learned well the secrets of fishing on many rivers of our peninsula. Our team is friendly, cheerful and resourceful, guys who passionately love their work. It’s warm and homey, cozy and enjoyable on our trips.

Travel with us gives you many unexpected and unusual experiences leaving you with unforgettable impressions of happy times, luck in fishing, and hearty companionship. Our guests become our friends forever, as it should be, many return to us for a 2nd and 3rd time.

Golden West Women Flyfishers, San Francisco

Welcome to the Golden West Women Flyfishers, the most exciting club in San Francisco!

We started out in 1983 as two friends getting together to start a club, and now we have about 150 women who meet and FLY FISH.

On the second Tuesday of every other month (except for June, July and August), we meet to exchange fishing stories and ideas, and to learn from one another and experts who are invited to do programs and spend a very social and convivial evening.

We have fishing outings, several a month during the fishing season.

We have conservation projects, the most important being the urban in-school aquatic program which has hundreds of children very excited about cleaning up a stream and incubating and raising native trout and other sensitive riparian and aquatic species. They then release them into the streams they have adopted.

And we have a bi-yearly fundraiser to finance all the projects we are involved in.

Some of our members are complete beginners and learn from our more experienced members. We have a good time together and have made friendships which are going strong after many years.

Golden West outings are the heart and soul of our club.

We take off for spots all over Northern California on a dozen or so trips a year that range from a day to a week, from float tubing lakes to boating spring creeks to horse packing small streams to tackling blue ribbon trout rivers like the Pit, the Trinity or the Truckee. Most trips are over weekends, when we’ll stay in cabins or motels, but camping is often arranged. Occasionally we plan a more far-flung trip, to Oregon or Montana, or even further afield like Belize or Alaska.

When it comes to preserving a healthy environment, GWWF is committed to action.

We monitor environmental legislation, bombard decision makers with our position, and volunteer to put our muscle where our mouth is to participate in cleanup projects

If you are a woman in the San Francisco Bay Area who is interested in flyfishing, come join the Golden West Women Flyfishers (GWWF)!

As founder and current President of the GWWF, I personally invite you to become one of us.

Fishing on the Daintree with Jamie Bietzel

Jamie Bietzel’s Fishing On The Daintree.

It’s so rare that you will ever come across a guide who is born and bred on a river from where he operates from. Well, Jamie Bietzel is the true article and knows the Daintree River like the back of his hand.

Just 40 minutes north of Port Douglas, Jamie operates his 16ft custom built, aluminium catamaran punt to cater for spectacular river and headland fishing opportunities. Barramundi, fingermark, mangrove jack, trevally, permit, mackerel and screaming monster queenfish are all part and parcel of the species he targets at various times of the year.

Thrown in with stunning backdrops including the Daintree National Park and neighbouring Snapper Island, this raw & vast river system is a truly remarkable fishing experience.

Also you will likely come in close range with the prehistoric estuarine crocodile – only to be caught on film though !

Jamie offers shared or sole charters, half day or full day, including lure and fly fishing trips for the specialist.

As a visiting angler to the area this is a highly recommended tour as Jamie’s fishing and local knowledge of the area is definitely something worth experiencing.

If you are thinking of travelling to our magical piece of paradise, drop us a line and send along any enquiries or special requests you may have and Heff will respond with the options available to you.

Waitaki Valley Lakes, NZ

warren — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 16:06:27 +0000

Waitaki Lakes

The Waitaki Valley is the Gateway to the Central South Island Region, with its main geographical feature being the abundance and variety of excellent fly fishing waters for wild, Brown and Rainbow trout.

Beginning in the ‘High Country,’ these clear spring creeks, streams and rivers flow through contrasting scenery and terrain ranging from snow-capped alps and rugged gorges to wide open grassy valleys.

When these waters combine, they enter a chain of hydro lakes before becoming one of New Zealand’s largest braided river systems – the Waitaki River, which empties into the Pacific Ocean.

The relatively short travelling time between such contrasting waters and scenery is an advantage should weather patterns or conditions necessitate a change of location.

Specializing in fly fishing – dry fly & nymph, for both experienced and novice anglers. Tuition in casting and techniques. Spin fishing options.

OTHER SPORTS FISHING AVAILABLE

EVENING/NIGHT RISE – The evening Caddis hatch and accompanying trout rise on the Waitaki River throughout the season is renowned. Many anglers who were at first hesitant to participate in this type of angling, became ‘hooked’ – in more than one sense of the world.

SALMON (CHINOOK/KING) – Entering the Waitaki River as early as November, the recognized ‘run’ is from January to the end of April. Optimum period is considered to be during February and March, coinciding with the peak of our New Zealand summer.

SEA RUN BROWN TROUT – Entering the esturine areas of the Waitaki River in good numbers, generally during the months of November through February. Average sizes range from 31b to 8lb but it is not uncommon for sea Run to be landed in the 101b – 14lb range.

Main season – October through April

Trout Fishing at the Nimittabel Motel, New South Wales

John and Margaret Killip left city life, and suits, behind 24 years ago when they decided to get more fun out of life doing what they enjoy. John loves fly fishing for trout, and even now still talks about it endlessly, so Margaret says. Margaret is a very accomplished chef, and her kitchen produces wonderful food, so says John and thousands of happy guests.

Nimmitabel is one of Australia’s highest towns at an elevation of 1080 metres. Situated 35 km south of Cooma on the Snowy Mountains Highway, it is less than 5 hours drive from Sydney or 7 hours from Melbourne. This is a great place to relax for a few days. Clear, cool high country air and the slower pace of a small village.

The motel is situated off the highway at the northern end of Nimmitabel village, with parking at the door of your room. A small friendly place, there are just ten quiet, comfortable rooms with en suite bathrooms, all at ground level. Each room has TV, refrigerator, tea and coffee making facilities, heating, and electric blankets on all beds.

There are opportunities for all kinds of trout fly fishing in the Snowy-Monaro region. Nimmitabel is an ideal centre, with easy access in a few minutes to some excellent streams. Less than an hour’s drive can take you to fast flowing Snowy Mountain rivers or by heading south to some very attractive river fishing in the Bombala and Delegate area.

Experienced fly fishers are drawn to Nimmitabel by the prospect of casting their flies to trophy sized fish that they can see cruising around and rising to excellent mayfly hatches.There are three streams close by that are classified ‘Blue Ribbon’ by the Fisheries Department where this kind of fishing is possible when conditions are suitable.

While exploring the region’s rivers on your own can be fun, having an experienced guide will greatly improve your chances of finding the best fishing available. John, President of the Professional Fishing Instructors and Guides Association, is one of Australia’s best known fly fishing identities. His guiding service is exclusive to motel guests.

Fishing on the River Dwyfor

Celt — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 14:28:44 +0000

Fishing on the River Dwyfor

With an average yearly catch of 2000 – 3000, the River Dwyfor is one of the best sea trout rivers in Wales.

Salmon runs start in September with the odd grilse caught before. The largest salmon to date weighed in at 33 lb.

The sea trout are mainly caught on the fly at night using traditional sea trout flies and some local patterns. Floating and intermediate lines are generally used. Large surface lures have become very popular and take some big fish.

Worms are used during the day and night if water levels are ok. Fishing when the river is in flood can be fantastic sport with the worm. If the river level is very high with thick chocolate colored water, trotting worms along the banks can produce some big fish. When the water starts to clear the spinner can be deadly. Mepps, tobys and rapalas are the most popular lures.

RIVER DWYFOR is mostly controlled by the Criccieth,Llanystumdwy and Distict Angling Association.

River Dwyfor Permits:

24 hour = £15 Student season = £15
72 hour = £30 Junior season – 16 = £7
Week = £50 Junior season – 8 = £5
Season = £100
O.A.P = £45

Fish in Kona

Fishing in Kona with Captain Jeff

Hawaii is one of the worlds top deep sea fishing destinations and it’s the geography of the Big island that makes Kona Hawaii the sportfishing capital of the Pacific.

Five huge mountain masses protect the Kona coast from the winds resulting in sea conditions that are usually as calm as a lake. The steep slope of the ocean bottom on the Kona coast puts the deep sea sportfishing within a short distance from the shoreline.

Six species of billfish roam the Kona coast along with six species of tuna, Mahi Mahi (Dorado), Ono (Wahoo), several species of Shark and a wide variety of big-game bottom fish. With so many kinds of fish and fishing styles available there’s little excuse for not catching fish.

* Trolling * Bottom Fishing * Fly Fishing * Casting * Jigging

Kona Hawaii fishing with Capt. Jeff Rogers – the top sportfish catching captain in Kona five years in a row!

The Reel Girls

Jeni — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 10:09:52 +0000

The Reel Girls, Broome, Western Australia

The Reel Girls is an all-female angling team that formed in 1999 (originally called Fish’n'Chicks) for the annual Sailfish Tournament in Broome Western Australia.

So…Who are the REEL GIRLS?

Tracey Rushford
Tracey Rushford of the Reel Girls team is no game-fishing boat ornament posing for the occasional action shot. Tracey is no stereotype of fickle ideas glued together as a glamorous appendage to a serious tournament. Dedication and vitality are the two words which most readily sum up Tracey’s attitude to angling among serious sports enthusiasts.

Jenifer Lerch
Jeni Lerch is a powerfully motivated member of the Reel Girls team. Her determination to live life to the fullest provides her with more energy than seems possible for a physically light-framed woman. Jeni’s success as an angler can be gauged by the number of trophies she has been awarded, but it can also be gauged by the healthy lifestyle she has chosen in order to pursue her favorite sport. Best choice of values, simple choices available to almost all Australians, are manifest in Jeni’s tireless energy, magnetic personality and good humour.

Sara Hennessey
Boredom is a word that seems to be missing from the vocabulary of Sara Hennessey. Once on the water, and taking part in a tournament, Sara’s killer instinct takes over. It’s win or die for this competitor, and all’s fair in love, war and competitions. Sara is no idle spectator content to watch the fellas win, she always gives them the best run for their money. Her physical fitness and concentration span allows that run to be formidable, and she is a great asset to the team in every tournament.

Deb Foster
Deb Foster joined the REEL GIRLS (then called Fish’n'Chicks) for the Broome 2001 Billfish tournament. One day in July 2001 Deb was fishing with some mates catching salmon when they mentioned that the girls team were looking for someone to fish with them in the Broome Billfish Classic. She couldn’t believe her luck and contacted Tracey immediately. This was the beginning of her real interest in fishing and she is now a totally hooked blue water angler. Deb says she has heaps to learn but they don’t come much keener.

Lisa Wantuch
Lisa Wantuch lives mostly on the East Coast Australia. Half her time is spent working in the Gulf of Carpentaria in the fishing industry as part of a crew spending weeks at a time confined to a vessel. Lisa joined the REEL GIRLS during the Toyota Sportivo 2001 Interclub Tournament in Port Stephens. Lisa met up with Jeni in South West Rocks in January 2001 during a film shoot with Dreampool productions for the Rex Hunt fishing program.

Through events and the uniqueness of their successful all-female team the girls hope to promote fishing in some of the following areas:-

Use their notoriety as an all female team to attract men, women and children to participate in the healthy sport of fishing, a sport that almost anyone can do, which takes them outdoors and promotes a healthy lifestyle and is also lots of fun!
Increase the awareness of the Tag and Release program for the sport of game fishing.
Promote the preservation of fish stocks in our waters through catch and release.
Educate anglers on the correct procedures for tagging and releasing fish.
Encourage people around the world to consider Australia and for their next fishing adventure.

So there you have it! In fact you just might see us fishing in your home town soon. If your home town happens to be in Mexico or Japan, maybe you’ll see us there in your local tournaments.

Savannah Sound, Eleuthera

Zev — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 10:26:00 +0000

Bonefishing at Savannah Sound, Eleuthera

Savannah Sound is a gorgeous place for bone fishing. Right in front of Savannah Sound is Windermere Island where Prince Charles and Princess Diana honeymooned!

One of the few large bonefish flats in protected ‘sounds’ Ocean-side. Best fished when the wind is from the South or West and the ‘Sea-Side’ is too rough.

Aim to start fishing at, or soon after, low tide.

Tides occur about two hours earlier Ocean-side, so you can win extra fishing time by starting on the Ocean-side around low water and switching to the Sea-side two or three hours later.

Waters around Eleuthera are usually crystal clear but you shouldn’t need to use ultra-light tackle as the fish are generally not under much pressure from other anglers (yet!).

You’ll probably be fishing in depths of around two feet or less, so a leader of 10 to 12 feet should be enough to present the fly nicely on the bottom

Tippets of about 8 pound test are OK for sandy bottoms, and 10 or 12 pound test for rocks or mangrove.

Bonefish have exceptionally good eyesight and hearing so there is no need for large or flashy flies, except perhaps in low light conditions. Flashy flies can also attract small barracuda which will bite your fly off.

Once hooked, bonefish do not leap or run for cover but rely instead on their amazing speed and strength to evade capture. They will make several very fast (25 mph) runs, each of up to 50 or even 100 yards! Therefore, you’ll need to recover as much line as possible between each run or you’ll soon be holding an empty reel! But, unless you’re fishing near mangrove or other hazards, the odds are that you’ll win in the end.

Often while casting for bonefish you will get strikes from other species such as needle-fish and small barracuda which have razor-sharp teeth. Sometimes they will slash at the fly line or leader knot. If this happens, check the leader for abrasion, even if the fly wasn’t bitten off.

Playing a bonefish will occasionally attract the attentions of sharks or large barracuda. If you see one approach, immediately lower your rod and tighten your line until the tippet breaks. By doing this, you will give the bonefish a sporting chance of out-running the predator, which it would not otherwise have.

Bonefishing, Eleuthera

Zev — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 10:06:33 +0000

Bonefishing, Eleuthera

We mainly wade the shallow flats, sight-casting flies to bonefish of up to 8lb (and occasionally bigger) in warm crystal clear water, often less than 12 inches deep.

You don’t have to be an expert fly fisher but you should be a reasonably competent caster. If you can deliver a fly quickly and accurately 50 feet into the wind to a cruising fish, while standing up to your knees in water, you will definitely catch more bonefish!

Often referred to as ‘The Grey Ghosts of The Flats’, bonefish are masters of disguise and virtually invisible in water. This is partly because their mirror-like scales reflect the bottom. Look for their shadows on the sand if the sun is out, or their tails breaking the surface as they feed in shallow water (‘tailing’) or clouds of mud thrown up (‘mudding’).

They are almost constantly on the move, and frequently change direction, pausing only to root out some tasty morsel. Always be prepared to cast immediately to a fish without taking your eyes off it for a second. Bonefish will often appear out of nowhere and disappear in the blink of an eye. Small and medium size fish often feed in schools of up to thirty fish or more, but larger specimens usually feed singly or in ‘pods’ of up to four fish and are sometimes confused with barracuda. However, if the bonefish you’re looking at isn’t moving, it probably isn’t a bonefish!

Other species you can throw a fly to include barracuda, pompano and jacks.

All bonefishing is strictly catch & release and we insist that you only use barb-less or de-barbed flies/hooks.

During our last 9 trips all but one of our anglers caught bonefish on fly, even though some had very little fly fishing experience. On average we catch around 100 bonefish per trip, mostly in the size range of 2lb to 4lb best fish 8lb.

Hatchet Bay is a completely enclosed bay with a 50′ wide entrance which is cut through cliffs that are about 20-30′ high. It’s hard to see until you’re at the cut and going through the cut can be a bit exciting depending upon the sea state.

The is one of the safest man made harbors in the Bahamas. DD’s internet cafe is very close and grocery store as well.

Aim to start fishing at, or soon after, low tide.

Waters around Eleuthera are usually crystal clear but you shouldn’t need to use ultra-light tackle as the fish are generally not under much pressure from other anglers (yet!).

The fishing marks running from the promenade at St Mary’s Lighthouse to the harbour at Cullercoats offer the angler some of the most challenging and rewarding fishing on the North East coast.

There is plenty of scope for fishing all parts of the tide, but this area is usually most rewarding just before or just after a big Easterly/North Easterly blow.

Keith Halman fishing on Hall Beach, Seaham

Keith Halman fishes for Cod, Whiteys and Flatties at Black Caves on Hall Beach, Seaham, Co. Durham.

Preferred bait is Lugworm (tipped with Whiteworm if you can get it!), or crab. Best time is after dark and in rough seas.

Keith usually casts around 120 yards from shore, but isn’t convinced that long casts are always necessary and knows of plenty of cases where short casts have landed big fish.

Cod can be over 10 lbs, whiteys over 3 lb and flatties around 2 lb. Keith hauled his biggest Cod yet (nearly 12 lbs he reckons) on this spot just before Christmas, but it broke loose in the rough surf only yards from the shore!

Accessibility: The cliffs along this stretch of coastline are steep and impassible. But Hall Beach offers easy access by either steps or ramps from the large car park near the centre of the beach.
