i went down today!
i had no waders so i bout a set of waist waders not planning to go in too deep!
they leaked within 15 minutes so i didnt last long! too cold, v annoyed!
quite windy, water was rough and dirty! no sign of fish!
bit annoyed about travelling froom belfast for an hour or two wet fishing!
think i need a partner for the next trip!

Very good! Fair play to you for trying! To be honest, I think you'd be as well in the pub when the weather is like that! If there's colour in the water the fluff chucking becomes hard work! Especially if there is any easterly in the wind direction. Tends to stir up the lough and cloud the water. I'll drop you a line the next time I'm heading out.
