Duck Fly/Olives Lough Corrib 
April 2nd to 7th 2009

ONLY £365 Booking Deadline 27th Feb



Join us and experience the Duck Fly and Olive Fishing on this great Western Lough.

******* FULLY BOOKED *******

Tackle Required
10' #7/8 rod is all you need. However, lough-style fishing is generally short-lining so you would benefit from a lighter line. I use a 10' #6. 
Floating line is all you'll need, although Ghost tip or intermediate will give you more control in a big wind.
Leader material 5-8lb, standard mono for pulling wets and florocarbon for fishing nymphs and dries. 
Boyancy aid.
Fly Patterns
For buzzer/duckfly fishing, epoxy buzzers fished as a team is the best method. Shuttlecocks can also produce results if you get a warm spell and the fish are up. At Olive time the Sooty Olive takes some beating, Golden Olive Bumble, Blue winged olive and various dries on the olive theme.
