ShRFB reports for TJ O'Brien, TJ's ANGLING CENTRE KILLALOE Tel: 061 376009 reports for the lower Shannon area.
Fishing has been good on the lake swims on Lough Derg's southern shores and islands. However weather conditions were a factor at times with fish switching off when conditions were very bright. Best results were had early morning and late evening. Ogonnelloe on Lough Derg provided good sport for anglers targeting Bream. The East Clare lakes fished well in places. O'Donnell's shore on Doon Lake produced plenty of small fish.

There was superb bream fishing reported from the Lough Derg lake swims around Killaloe. A group of 8 English anglers, led by Roy Hicks fished on the lake for 4 days and had over 2700lbs of fish, fish were typically 3.5lbs to 4lbs, best fish was over 8lbs. Prospects look excellent for the week as weather remains warm and calm. Twomilegate is fishing very well early morning before the sun comes up.
The East Clare lakes was mentioned with some good early morning tenching reported on Lough Bridget. The 'early worm catches the fish?, you are unlikely to get good tench fishing past 9am in the morning this time of year, so you'll have to get out bright and early for best results.
