Steve Yeo returned to fish at duckfly time on Lough Corrib for the first time in many years and was rewarded by catching this superb trout of 4lbs (released).  The duckfly fishing has been challenging with strong, cold winds resulting in poor catches in the inital days.  Then the weather calmed down and with it the fishing improved for some. Geoff Challis and Tony Corpes had a total of 31 trout for their 9 days fishing but others struggled to catch fish. There were some exceptions when Nick Sharp and Roy both caught 6 fish each on different days. 

 Michele Fanton and Luca Faroli, Italy, made a return visit to Grasshopper Cottage in May 2009. These were their best fish caught and released (47cm and 46cm respectively).
