early season flies for killarney

[doobrysnatcher]

just wondering would anyone have a few dressings for early season flies for killarney lake

March & April are good months for the duckfly. Blae & Black is an old one and still works well but try any of your favourite duckfly patterns. On Lough Leane, as well as the recognised duckfly 'holes', the fly will also hatch in deeper water and the trout will feed on them out there, especially the drowned adults so don't neglect the deeps

Hi.
Friends and clubmates who know the lake very well,have always stressed the importance of small lightly dressed wets 14/16s black being important,pennells/conamarras/watsons/kates as well blae type dressings. PJ

Any of the Irish cormorant series size 12/14's tied on buzzer hooks will take fish.
