 Lough Corrib is the largest of the Western Loughs,
32 miles or 51 km long full of islands and bays a novice to this lough could
get lost quite easily. The lake has many dangerous rocks and anglers would be
well advised to employ a boatman when fishing this lough. Fishing on
Corrib starts on the 15th of February and runs until September the 30th. The
fishing does not require a permit. Corrib produces many specimen trout
every year but mainly to the trollers. A typical fly caught bag would
be of fish 3/4 lb to 2lb with the odd 3 or 4lb fish thrown in. Corrib often
fishes well from the opening day until the end of September and is noted for
its consistent Mayfly hatches, which usually start mid May. Most fish
in the early season will be caught on Duckfly (large buzzer) imitations. Salmon
also run into the lough and can be caught on fly.
