Tommy Hurley of Tralee caught a beautiful fish of 7 lbs at Johnston's on the worm on Wednesday 21st April.

Second Fish of 2010!!!

Thomas Ward of Tralee caught the second fish of the season on Laune Anglers waters on Monday 26th April fishing Crowley's.  Caught on a 1.5 inch minnow the fish weighed 8 lbs.

Permits: The cost of daily permits is reduced on Laune Anglers waters up to the end of July also there is a reduced cost for 7 day Permits, see Permits.
 

Comments:  The Laune is a lake-fed river and therefore always fishable to the fly, even in prolonged dry conditions.

High water levels -- as experienced in the Spring -- favour upriver fisheries, as salmon tend to run the river on their way to the lakes.

Good water levels – not too high – are welcomed by anglers for the months of August and September. The Gauge opposite shows the river at Summer Low.
