Angling guests of Kevin Lyons did manage to get a few fish on pre-baited swims in the Strokestown lakes, early morning sessions. There has been some very good Tench and Roach fishing on select venues on the Shannon in the Banagher area.

The GAME ANGLING NEWS UPDATE TO JUNE 26th, 2010 BEST FISHING ON SHEELIN AND OWEL LATE IN THE EVENING Day time fishing has been poor on most of the midland lakes, particularly since the weekend. The best results were had by anglers fishing late in the evening into dusk on Lough Sheelin and Owel, with some good fishing reported. Anglers are reporting trout activity on Ennell mainly late in the evening but fish are proving elusive and difficult to catch. Olives and buzzers are worth trying late evening. A north east wind hampered trout angling on Lough O'Flynn. Lough O'Flynn Anglers held a competition on the lake on Sunday in quite good angling conditions, the results feature in our full report. Trout are feeding on Perch fry as we write on O'Flynn and of late Lough Owel. Anglers should try fishing with dabblers and perch fry imitations this week. Lough Acalla was lively over the bank holiday weekend, and there were good fly hatches evident.
