Thought you guys might be interested in seeing the report in yesterdays paper of the biggest ever fly caught brown trout from an Irish river, savage fish.

The Cong river has a long history of producing big trout although they usually come to the troll.

It is a short river that connects Lough Corrib and Lough Mask so the presence of big trout is not surprising, this is a cracking fish to the fly though.

What a monster. Perhaps they should call it the 'King' Cong river.
