Lough Conn, in Co. Mayo in the
North West of Ireland is approximately 9 miles, 5.5km long and 3miles, 1.5km
wide it and its immediate neighbour to the south L. Cullin are connected to
the sea by that great Salmon river the Moy. Because of this the fishing
on L. Conn is quite likely to produce a Salmon as a trout at
times. This is an added bonus to what can be at times a great lake for
traditional wet-fly tactics. Conn trout have a habit of hitting the fly
very hard and coupled with the fact that you could connect to a Salmon I
would recommend your cast is at least 8lb b.s. The trout in L. Conn average
1.5 to 2lb, its smaller neighbour L. Cullin reached by going under pontoon
bridge to the south produces fish around 3/4 lb. The season on Conn runs from
March 1st until September 30th.
