Had many a wasted trip myself and that was the primary reason for keeping these threads going. It's great to see them working for people.

Fished Kiloughter last night. Not a single piece of weed, however I can confirm that the weed has definitely been replaced by Dogs.

Ennareilly was weed free last night but the fishing was the worst I have ever seen it.
