Where on Lough Derg is fishing well for trout at this time of year and what should I be using?

Ray, I've been where you've been, a great place to spend a week on a boat. I've had great nights in the bar at Terryglass with a short stagger back to the boat and the same in Garrykennedy and Dromineer although my favourite bar on the Shannon is Killeen's in Shannonbridge.
The best areas for trout are around Garrykennedy, Dromineer and Mountshannon. Fish along the shoreline and around the islands and where the streams come in. Having said that this is generally a quiet time for the trout and it picks up again when the fish start to gather around the streams ready to run them in September and October.
There's always a chance of picking up a decent fish anywhere near shallows or islands and there have been a couple of good ones down at Killaloe as well but mostly taken by pike anglers.
