	Lough Conn Trout fishing
		Lough Conn joins Lough Cullin at lovely Pontoon, which is famous for its salmon pool at the Pontoon Bridge.
		Tucked away under the shadow of Nephin Mountain and surrounded by forests and sandy beaches and bays, Lough Conn extends nine miles from North to South and varies in width from two to six miles.
		Irish Anglers normally use a floating line and three wet flies size 10 to 12 generally, two of which are attached to the leader by means of dropper (blood knot or water knot) and the third fished on the tail or at the point.

		The next highest summits are Nephin (2646 ft.), to the west of Lough Conn, and Croagh Patrick (2510 ft.), to the south of Clew Bay.
		The principal lakes are Lough Mask and Lough Corrib, on the borders of the county with Galway, and Loughs Conn in the east, Carrowmore in the north-west, Beltra in the west, and Carra adjoining Lough Mask.
		These loughs and the smaller loughs, with the streams generally, afford admirable sport with salmon, sea-trout and brown trout, and Ballina is a favourite centre.

		A small part of the northern portion of Lough Corrib is considered as belonging to the county; this lake is navigable, unless in very dry seasons, for boats of from 10 to 20 tons to its most northern extremity at Cong, a distance of about 30 miles from the sea.
		Lough Dan, the next in order, is much smaller than any of the others in the range; it is also called Castlebar lake, because its eastern extremity is close to the town of that name.
		At the south-eastern extremity of Lough Conn is Lough Cullen, sometimes called the Lower Conn; it is separated from the lake of that name by a narrow strait, over which a bridge named Pontoon bridge was built, on the formation of the new mail line to Sligo.

		The Lough Conn Report recommendations were aimed at reducing the phosphorus load to the lake in order to prevent the lake reaching the stage where it could be regarded as eutrophic.
		In the case of Lough Conn it is recommended that: Greater emphasis be placed on the assessment of the shallow littoral areas of the lake in order to obtain a better understanding of the nature of the algal blooms which occur in these areas.

		Lough Conn with its margins of rocks and small stones, has more character of a mountain lake than Mask or Corrib but there is sufficient limestone to provide habitat for Mayfly and there is a good hatch.
		The vast majority of trout caught on Lough Conn are taken on wet flies when trout are moving near the surface during the seasonal fly hatches but, even in the valley periods, between hatches, it is nearly always possible to attract the attention of a trout to a learn of well presented wet flies.
		On Conn, trout up to 2.3 kgs (5lb) were encountered but the largest numbers were in the range of 0.45kgs to 0.9kgs (1 to 21bs).

	Welcome to Fly Fish Ireland
		Lough Conn's reputation as a fine brown trout and salmon fishery goes back to the very beginning of angling in the west of Ireland.
		Lough Conn is regarded as a very free-taking Lough and is a great favourite with those who like to fish "traditional-style" in front of the boat, and because trout take the wet fly so freely very little dapping takes place there.
		Lough Melvin remains one of the few examples of a post-glacial salmoniod lough and it is still in a relatively pristine state.

		At one time it was believed that the Arctic char in Lough Melvin were a distinct and separate species from the other Arctic char populations in Ireland, and they were given their own species name, Salvelinus grayii.
		He recommended that Irish char populations be identified from their place of origin, and that considering these populations have been isolated since the retreat of the glaciers of the last Ice age, they have evolved genetic characteristics specific to their lakes.
		Lough Melvin is the only lake in Ireland to contain Arctic char, which spans the Irish Republic and Northern Ireland, and is also therefore the only lake in Northern Ireland to contain Arctic char today.
