Lough Corrib Angling Report 12/02/2010 Lough Corrib is still fishing very well, with plenty of action at the surface. John Walsh reports that the Cornamona-Greenfields area has seen some good sport over the last week, although anglers have been slow to get out and take advantage. 9 anglers reported 25 trout in 22 rod-days for approx 41lbs, with dry sedges proving most successful. Green Peters are also accounting for a good number of fish.
