Brown Trout
Fishing on the Bandon River
The river holds an
excellent stock of brown trout and a number of fisheries allow
flyfishing only. The average weight is about half a pound but
fish up to four and half pound have been caught.
The best fishing
months are April, May, early June and September. The river gets
good hatches of olives, sedges, black gnat, blue winged olives
and stoneflies, in season, as well as falls of hawthorn and
woodfly.
Favourite wet-fly
patterns are Greenswell's Glory (with bright green body) Light
and Dark Olives, Snipe and Purple, Partridge and Orange, Orange
Grouse, Wickham's Fancy, Hare's Ear, Black Zulu, Bracken Clock
and Blue Dun.
