WILD TOTAL OUTDOORS / ANGLERS ALADDIN’S CAVE I dropped into my pal Brian Conlon of Wild Total Outdoors this morning on a walk about and he has some exciting new products in stock and more coming on line. Brian and Paul Allard, who works in Wild Total Outdoors, have a vast experience between the two …
SHEELIN END OF TROUT SEASON: Lough Sheelin closed for all angling on October 12th and some huge trout were caught by anglers out and about on Sheelin before this. Unfortunately their huge fundraising end of season competition was cancelled – but quite a few anglers still fished the last few days of the season. Kevin …
HUGE OWEL TROUT. Last Tuesday local anglers Johnny O’Malley of Mullingar and his pal Mick Clarke of Castletown Geoghagan were on Owel fly-fishing. The lads are seasoned anglers and were struggling on Owel that day Johnny told me. Late in the evening they ventured to Brabsons Point, as darkness fell and in quite shallow water …
DURROW ANGLERS: Young Luke Condron of Durrow in Co. Offaly featured some weeks back in Angling Focus with some lovely Ennell pike and trout. Luke was back on Ennell last week and had his pal Oisin Cleary on board. The lads had a few nice pike trolling lures and got quite a few hits. Now …

GAULSMOYLES CARP FISHERY: I dropped out to Gaulsmoyles Carp Fishery last Saturday and had some great sport catching colourful carp.

We have a lot of catching up to do this week as anglers have been reeling in some lovely trout. Lene, Owel and Mount Dalton anglers were in the thick of the action plus I left out a photograph from the Whitelake last week. Breaking news of the Buzz/Peter Flies – tied up by one …
Yes, local anglers had a whale of a time last week catching super trout and cracking pike. Lure and fly anglers both had success on the likes of Owel, Ennell and the Whitelake. We also met a few characters up at Lilliput who are big into fishing. Sadly this week we also heard the news …
It’s a cert that the weather is just unbelievable these days, and last weekend was no better. Rain, high winds and the odd blast of sunshine made for a very interesting week on the angling front. I met Dave Brennan of Gaulsmoyles Carp Fishery and they are back on line after Covid- 19 restrictions on …
