Dungannon Park Lake Angling Notes 11.4.08
Water temperature is definitely rising lately and more and more trout are making themselves visible on the surface of the lake, which is good news for the angler as he doesn’t have to guess where the fish are now. With the warm weather comes a change in tactics and methods, retrieving line should become faster and higher up in the water and various types of aquatic life come into season and can be matched with imitation flies. Green and yellow still seem to be the colour of choice and the “Montana Nymph” and “Dog Nobbler” seem to be catching a fair number of fish.
Up and coming events include the “Learn 2 Fly Fish” adult tuition for beginners and learners which will take place on Saturday 26th April with A.P.G.A.I instructor Patrick Trotter from 10am – 5pm. All equipment will be supplied and refreshments will be served, the cost is £20 for the day and there are a limited number of places so this is your last chance for interested in taking up fly fishing and receiving professional instruction. We are also running a “May Bank Holiday Promotion” which entails a £10 3 fish ticket and ½ price boat hire, the heaviest 3 fish bag will win a £100 angling voucher from a selected list of retailers. The Promotion commences on Saturday 3rd May – Monday 5th May. The first 3 fish caught will be recorded. If you have any queries on any of our events you may contact us on the details at the end of this feature.
