How the months come around! In the blink of an eye it the first of May. This year we have made a big effort to rejuvenate our boat fleet and all the boats have been painted inside and out. Several have also been rebuilt to ensure they are all tip top and ready for action.…
Summer 2022 brought some much needed sun and fine weather. We had some lovely swims in the Corrib and coffee on the patio was also a regular occurrence. We also had a fantastic view of the Harvest Moon rising over the Corrib – on days like this where else would you rather be?
After over two years of hardship and uncertainty it was good to get back to some level of normality in 2022. Visitors started to return and it was wonderful to have some of our regulars back for the first time in three years. In 2021 we had a whole new group of guests – those…
As Ireland opened it doors properly to visitors we finally opened the house – all be it a bit limited – to some of our longstanding guests who returned in May. The weather was mixed for those who came to fish and enjoy their first proper break in over two years – some had it…
With the great news of the dropping of virtually all restrictions we are planning our 2022 season. We will not be putting out the boats until the week coming up to the ‘new bank holiday’ in March so we will have boats from Saturday the 12th March. Due to our personal circumstances we will be…
Its not often you get ‘ideal’ conditions in January but Sunday 16th January 2022 was a glorious day in Connemara. Lucky for those of us who can just head out West and pick a relatively quiet route for a cycle. Plenty of layers were required as the temperature was a mere 5 degrees – it…
The start of the new year is a time for renewal, new commitments and getting the most of the amazing part of the country in which we live. It is often said there is no such thing as bad weather just bad clothing! You just need to wear the right stuff whether it walking, cycling…
This time of year we usually head to some far off location for a holiday. We like off the beaten track, and have been fortunate to see some amazing places over the years. With Covid-19 this is not possible for now, so we had a lovely home Christmas with some of Deirdre’s family without Christopher…
With the house closed and Covid-19 rumbling on like a smoking volcano the best thing to do is walk locally and enjoy the highs and some lows in the local scenery. Its always a highlight to see the trout heading to their spawning grounds or digging the gravel just above the bridge at the house.…
There was a busy day towards the end of the season when we had to put out extra engines, but by the end of September it was time to take the boats out for another year. This is a busy time of trailering, pulling boats off trailers and turning them and putting them on stands…
Every year we plant hanging baskets around the house in memory of my mum. Some years they are good others probably not so good, it all depends on two key factors, when you get time to plant them (if its too late they don’t grow so well) and if the summer is very sunny, then…
Derryclare mountain is always a favourite that must be climbed each summer. The views throughout the climb are always amazing. Ok, so there are many false summits – so you must temper your companions expectations that the 10 cairns they come across on the way up are not the top! But, if the weather is…
At the end of August the lake is probably its warmest and the trout are hiding in the deeper colder water. Time to leave the trout alone and relax! In the warm days we were either heading to the beach or for a swim on Lough Corrib. There is nothing nicer than a swim at…
Already there is a feeling of Autumn in the air. The temperatures are more like the usual ones for this latitude, the heat wave of July is now a distant memory, the river and the garden have recovered. Don’t get me wrong it was amazingly hot and we made the most of it with evening…
With the planned opening up of inter-county travel from the 10th May it is perfect timing for a trip to Lough Corrib for the Mayfly. During the week there were plenty of Mayflies popping up in Oughterard bay in a virtual flat calm – that was after the hailstorm about 30 minutes earlier! Yes, it…
After a particularly long lockdown from the 30th December to the 12th April we will finally be able to open our boat hire to anglers or boaters from County Galway from Monday 12th April. it has been a tough time all through the long days of winter. However, the clocks have gone forward, the days…
The days are getting longer and just a little warmer. The crocus’s were quick to follow the snowdrops and then the daffodils came in abundance – but in typical West of Ireland style a storm of wind and heavy rain battered the daffodils to the ground – they are finally recovering. We have been very…
The 2021 trout season opened for those within 5kms of the water on the 15th February. This was just 4 days after the snowfall so hard to believe the weather had changed so much in a few days. Of course we had to launch a boat and head out for a couple of hours. it…
It’s not often we get ‘real snow’ – you know snow that ‘sticks’, squeaks under your boots, makes good snow balls and covers the ground. Well, we finally got some on the 11th February. This is rare on the west coast as our weather is influenced by the Atlantic ocean. Whenever this happens you need…
Today is the 10th January and it is heartening to know that the daylight is now 40 minutes longer than it was on the shortest day of the year just before Christmas. It might seem hard to notice but we can’t argue with the facts! The best thing to do once you are all in…
Thankfully 2020 is now in the past, although with current infection levels it would seem that things are going to get worse before they get better. We are fortunate to have lovely walks locally including down to the pier and the bog walks all of which are right outside the door. The severe frost has…
As Christmas approached we were facing the dreaded lockdown again. Allowed to meet a small number of people for Christmas day was a saving grace. We would normally be somewhere unusual but all that is on hold. Making the best of the short days and the weather is key on top of getting together, in…
Finally another nice Saturday in December – time to catch some rays and exercise! We togged out early and headed for Maam to leave the car and cycle through the Lough Nafooey valley past Finney and Upper Mask and into Clonbur for a well deserved coffee. Then the final push along the North shore of…
When the days close in and the rain never stops it’s time to turn to jobs that can be done from the comfort of your own home. Our stock of Sloe Gin seemed to be running very low and for the last few years the crop of sloes locally has been very poor. I thought…
When the business is closed for the winter we occasionally get nice dry sunny days at the weekend – (I know that’s a lot of planets lining up for the West of Ireland) and when this happens you must make the most of it! So on the 18th October the day promised to be sunny…
The 2020 season finally came to an end on the 30th September. A bit of last minute fishing in Connemara before putting the rod away and taking the boats in. Of course any salmon caught in September must go back – two nice Connemara cock salmon safely returned. A difficult year for fishing and for…
Towards the end of September we headed to Mweelrea along with the newly weds! The summit of the mountain is large with spectacular views. We were lucky as during our lunch break three guided groups reached the summit. We counted 50 climbers in all – all out for exercise during the pandemic. Thankfully there is…
Having postponed their wedding from March to September my nephew managed to get married in September before the second big lockdown. This was a great opportunity for a family get together all be it significantly reduced in size. that was one big advantage for a small family. A big highlight was having the same car…
We did our best during the county wide lockdown trying to get exercise and enjoy the autumnal weather. But the least we expected was to meet Lisa (niece) and her husband Alan at the top of Diamond hill in Letterfrack – its a small world. This is a lovely hike and perfectly suitable for lockdown…
Without doubt the prize for the most amazing trout caught in 2020 goes to Corrib newbies Alexander and Alexandra in September with this amazing specimen caught and released shortly after starting fishing. So the moral of the story is… you never know when you will be lucky – they were fishing Corrib for 40 minutes…
This is our favourite view of Lough Corrib from Inchagoill. This is the best place in the world any day of the year. What’s nicer that the 5km trip to the island even in lockdown. There is a lovely walk around the island both to the north and south from the landing jetty. This view…
2020 was our shortest season ever in the B & B – we managed to have boats available for longer but the B & B was only open from the second week of July to the end of August – just about 8 weeks. As part of the severe conditions imposed on us to operate…
So the new reality of running a B&B during Covid 19 has kicked off. We have made all the recommended changes to our operation while still retaining the homely feel of the place. I have a nice cert from Faite Ireland saying I have received training and am compliant with Covid 19 protocols. I hope…
Well it has been a very quiet period with only a few locally based people hiring boats from time to time. However, all the social distancing rules did not put off Oughterard based Karl Keating from proposing to a very surprised Fiona Walsh on a trip from Camillaun Lodge to Inchagoill island – they clearly…
Before we leave May the summer has arrived in glorious fashion and it has coincided with the Bank holiday – well that’s probably a first. Whats more, instead of being flat out looking after our guests we have the entire house to ourselves and the lake to the locals. So I headed out at dawn…
Well for the past two days we have been battered by high South Westerly and Westerly winds. The garden has taken a battering and leaves that are only a few weeks old litter the ground. Christopher’s cat, a new resident, was puzzled to discover a strange ‘animal’ in the garden with hair, feathers and moss…
As and from the 18th May 2020 we will be making a small number of boats available for hire for fishing and exercise on the lake. This is restricted to people who live in a 5 km radius of Camillaun Lodge -so in reality to locally based people and all the normal social distancing rules…
The mayfly is up and finally the ‘Maybush or Whitethorn’ is in flower, but the lake is strangely quiet. Yes, most people are holding steadfast to the movement restrictions initially just 2km from home and for the past week 5km. You are allowed a short period of exercise and some people with close access to…
In the early months of the year we were undergoing preparations for the forthcoming 2020 season. Painting in the house was planned and completed and a bit of a milestone birthday celebrated a year late in the beautiful French Alps. We were planning returning and concentrating on getting everything ‘shipshape’ for the new season.Shortly after…
Sri Lanka Our holiday in Sri Lanka took us from the coast to the highlands and back again. We enjoyed some beautiful safaris and saw extraordinary wildlife. We hiked to Worlds End and then took on the famous Sri Pada or Adam’s Peak, a tough pilgrimage normally undertaken by lamplight at night. Up to 6,000…
Exploring Sri Lanka Christmas 2019 saw us head East for one of the few occasions to reunite with travelling Christopher who was returning from 4 months travel and we met in the capital of Sri Lanka, Colombo. This is a wonderful country boasting many legacies to the old colonial days when the influence of England…
Well as the winter comes we must bring home all the boats and tidy everything away for the next season. Its a busy time as the days shorten and the winter always seems long. Not this year, Oughterard’s Intermediate football team went on a winning spree that saw them put in some amazing performances and…
Well September and October saw the Rugby World Cup in Japan. Lucky Christopher headed off with a ‘College’ of Veterinary Surgeons (yes that’s the collective noun!) and they all did us proud shouting for Ireland. The Scotland match was a ‘battle royale’ with Ireland coming out on top but Japan was a banana-skin. The other…
Not being one for venturing fishing that often Deirdre landed two trout on the same cast at Inchagoill in early September – both beautiful keepers were safely returned. The same day a group of Birmingham vets had some super fishing as well as a lovely tour of Inchagoill.
We had two very fun family trips to Inchagoill in 2019. Both parties planned fishing to the island, a picnic and a return fishing journey. All this was of course subject to reasonable fishing conditions and the Corrib duly obliged. The Kelly gang took over the mooring at Inchagoill and Robert – the chef for…
Some good fishing and hiking a new peak! There were some great trips on the lake and good fishing not just on Corrib but also at the Erriff. A group from Carraroe and abroad had a few lovely trout which was a benefit for their planned dinner. Meanwhile a brief visit to Ireland by Christopher…
We had some spectacular weather last May with beautiful bright days and sunny skies. We welcomed Eddie and Imelda to the house who reacquainted themselves with the wonderful Lough Corrib. The bright conditions demanded fine casts and careful presentation. The clarity of the water due to the presence of Zebra mussels means that the fish…
As we approach May 2020 we look back at what happened last year! Some of the best fishing in the mayfly 2019 happened at the end of April in the cross over from Olive fishing to Mayfly fishing. Its all about the weather. Good windy south westerly winds are the favourite but these were not…
Following our hectic week in the mountains and temperatures as low as -12C we moved to Marrakesh and temperatures up to 30C what a change! We spent a few days getting lost in the extensive Souks – never able to find our way back the same route. As for finding a stall where there was…
Our Trip to North Africa In order to show we are still in business despite being closed we have decided to do a number of blog updates of the activities over the past year! This is for two reasons – life was too busy that we did not have time to keep the website up…
Mid summer has just passed and while the weather has not been suitable for the beach there has been plenty of water which has brought a great run of salmon this year into the west. Many reports of salmon being spotted running through the waterfall at the top of the village have been circulating. Oughterard…
[vc_row 0=””][vc_column 0=””][vc_column_text 0=””]My how time flies, it has been a few months since our last newsletter, we have been having some down time , which involved some travelling and of course some home improvements too, but we have finally shaken off our social media torpor.. and are now looking forward to another great season…
With Christmas just around the corner, we are left wondering where did that year go? It seems like only yesterday when we were on our Peruvian adventure. We had a great year in Camillaun Lodge, welcoming back many of our regulars and getting to know new people who promise to return. We welcomed more walkers…
The final week of September saw out the last of the trout season on Lough Corrib with honeymooners Leonie and Bjorn Koehler from Germany having a fantastic day on Lough Corrib. They caught a beautiful 3lb trout, a very large pike and 14 perch! All returned except the trout, which I am glad to say…
Hello friends, October is always a lovely month in Connemara with plenty of beautiful walks, cycles and golf on offer, the leaves are turning a lovely russet and there are many autumn delights to find. Gaestrum Triplex …
As a member of The Great Fishing Houses of Ireland I attended the Horse Show when Minister Heather Humphreys dropped by! She was delighted to hear about the marketing group and had words of encouragement It was a very special day for my niece Aisling Mc Greal who is now All Ireland Reserve Champion this involved dressage…
I always find that July slips by very quickly, there is so much happening, what with tennis, football not to mention salmon on the move its all go here at Camillaun Lodge. Reports of a large number of salmon passing up through the weir in Galway has reached all ears here including our canny Heron…
It seems the secret flies did they trick! Eduardo and his team mates fought off the challenges of 37 other countries. They were lying 3rd after the first day of the competition but performed brilliantly on the final day and won the competition, Eduardo performing brilliantly on Lough Corrib The team received gold and Edoardo…
June arrived with cooler temperatures and rain which should be good for fishing but was certainly needed for the garden. We have a lovely Scots man Joseph Gault fishing with us for the past 5 weeks, getting to know every nook and cranny of the lake, his success rate has been modest until he took…
In my last post I was full of anticipation, thinking ahead of a late Mayfly because of the cold spell we had in April, every thing seemed “topsy turvy” and in a way it was and continued to be so. Mind you Greg did manage to catch a beautiful 3lb trout on the natural fly…
Since our last newsletter, the clocks went forward but the seasons went backwards, with Arctic winds and freezing temperatures, one could be mistaken in thinking it was January not April. We have had a great range of visitors to Camillaun Lodge in the intervening time. We had ultra marathon runners, who ended up in hospital…
Happy Easter to you all This poor fella -a Gold Crest, Ireland’s smallest bird-was love struck this morning and collided with our window with his amour, but with Greg’s quick thinking of making a shelter from a cardboard box they both survived to tell a tale. So you are probably wondering what we have…
As we wait for our last guests of the season to arrive this weekend, we close on Monday, we are happily looking forward to a bit of down time. This does not mean that we will be resting on our laurels- God forbid, already Greg is eyeing up what needs to be done in the…
As we approach the end of the month and the end of the fishing season- we look at highs and lows of the month We had some incredible rain over a couple of days in the early part of the month, the river being our barometer, we thought we had been catapulted into November We…
Fishing was good on Lough Corrib for anyone who braved the challenging weather. Many local anglers enjoyed some great trout fishing on the “Dap”, some using artificial Mayflies and others Daddy Long Legs. Our son Christopher returned home recently and he took father and son, Christian and Aaron Sommer from Marburg out fishing. The had…
Otter 1 Angler 0 Otters are beautiful creatures but anglers watch out they are also very cunning. This was proven recently when our friends, the Kelly’s visited us with David Micks who caught a beautiful fresh run salmon on the top waters of the Ballynahinch system . For those of you who live in the…
We are now in the third week of July with the Galway Arts Festival in full swing and plenty of visitors about but ooh that rain, we locals seem to be taking the bad weather very personally, some of our walkers have a much more philosophical take on things suggesting that a good poncho is…
I always count my blessings when I go for a hike in Connemara- to live so close to such wonderful hiking and spectacular scenery!! In preparation for our Christmas hike to Machu Pichu we enlisted a few of our family members, some more reluctant than others, can you spot the reluctant one?? The howling wind…
The king of fish- Salmon are on the move with some excellent fishing at the Weir in Galway City,so we are looking forward to seeing some silver flashes passing our garden. With some heavy showers forecast for the next few days we expect to see the Salmon running the waterfall in Oughterard. I will…
I am happy to report that with the milder weather of the past week, fishing on Lough Corrib has picked up. In particular dapping Mayflies has proven very successful in a recent local competition with some excellent fish being caught on the Dap. There is a lovely southerly breeze blowing which should make for some…

With summer drought conditions, the river is very low and even the most avid fisher is getting a bit down in the mouth, our resident Heron is finding life tough, but the forecast is suggesting that rain is on its way so things could look better by the weekend Check out our new activity breaks…

As 2013 draws to a close it seems timely to look back over the year and remember some of the good times we all had in Camillaun. It has been a great year on so many fronts, we all have fond memories of the wonderful summer we enjoyed this year, in particular the long summer evenings.…
August went by in a flash with many walkers visiting our area and the occasional angler. There were many good days on the lake in terms of soaking up the scenery and enjoying the hazy days of summer but very little fishing activity- you just can’t have it every way! The good news is that…
This year I really enjoyed June, the weather was better and the childhood memories of the long fine evenings were reawakened. Lough Corrib has fished well for Salmon in particular along the Glann Shore and especially in Cong, where words like “stuffed with salmon” were used. Unfortunately Uchiumi Junichi, who traveled all the way from…

Hats off to all Mayfly anglers who this year despite the difficult weather conditions went fishing and actually had some nice catches of beautiful brown trout. Interestingly, Oughterard Bay fished very well over the month, which enabled anglers to fish and catch in windy conditions Jim O Sullivan, Cork who is a veteran Mayfly enthusiast…
We are finally coming to the end of the longest coldest spell in spring on record! We have had night temperatures down to -3C and day temperatures struggle to get to over 5 C. This has gone on for weeks. The river is very low and the growth in the garden non-existent. Its all about…
We had a big celebration on Easter Sunday with Deirdre’s mother celebrating her 90th birthday! All the family gathered to join in the celebration in Longford. During March we were also visited by the RAS cycle race. As well as having last years winner and their years second place we were also hosts to Fran…
The Great Fishing Houses of Ireland AGM was held in Mount Falcon in Mayo on the 12th February 2013. The owners and managers posed for a photo before dinner!
Well another season opened on a lovely mild February day. Sure it was great to be on the water along with a good sprinkle of other anglers. In fact fly fishing surpassed the traditional trollers! The start of the season is not about catching fish rather about re-acquainting oneself with the traditional fishing grounds and…
We finally reacquainted ourselves with the French ski slopes after a 6 year absence. It took a bit of work and training but we had a great Christmas in Meribel there was lots of fresh snow and Christopher took snow boarding for the first time, by the end of the week he was coming down…
In November Deirdre celebrated a landmark birthday and the entire family had a wonderful celebration in Lough Inagh Lodge. This involved an energetic weekend of exercise including walking, cycling a soccer match on Glassilaun, a swim in the Atlantic for the brave and a wonderful celebration party in the Lodge to cap it all off.…
On the 16th September a group from Oughterard Soccer Club headed to Co. Laois to do a fundraising skydive and parachute jump. Here Edward Caine nears the target zone on his return to earth – well done to all. OK so someone had to stay on the ground to take photos!! On the 2nd September…
On the 15th August 2012 the leaving certificate results came out. Christopher achieved his objective in points – here he is pictured with the proud parents – he’s off to College in Dublin. This year was the 10th anniversary of the death of Professor Graham Shaw from Windgates in Co. Wicklow. Graham was a very…
A recent trip to Lough Muck in Connemara after a 40 year absence – yielded nothing unfortunately – Spud was unimpressed. July 2012 Daylight shows off the Volvo Ocean racing boats in all their splendour. A week of concerts and celebrations begin! July has brought the Volvo Ocean Race to Galway for the second time…
Recently we were visited by two good Donegal lady anglers! Anne Croke originally from Galway landed two nice trout on the fly after a good long day’s perseverance! Lough Corrib continues to produce trout to the fly and a significant number are being caught on Mayfly patterns. Following the initial lull after the Mayfly the…
In May we had some new anglers although some were re-visiting the Corrib after a break. Retired surgeon Brendan McDevitt and his two sons Stephen and Joseph landed a cracker during May. When fishing everyone should use the tried and tested advance warning system of the attentive dog! Here Spud is on the lookout for…
There has been some excellent fishing in recent days – we got a nice bag of trout on the 9th using wetfly olive patterns under the surface. 8th April 2012 The RAS Connemara took place over the Easter Weekend. There was some excellent sport – with a time trial and race around the Glann –…
19th March 2012 March has arrived along with the daffodils. There is good duckfly fishing on the lake in fact most anglers have encountered fish and the recent survey of adult fish in the lake revealed good stocks of trout comparable with the last survey in 1996. At the weekend we have the St. Patrick’s…
Spawning of trout in the Owenriff river was really good with hundreds of fish counted in the stretch from the house to the Church. – Clearly the anglers did a bad job catching the fish in 2011 – there’s always 2012!. Already boats are being painted and several having some timber work done in preparation…
3rd October 2011 The season finally ended on the 30th September following the lowest Summer temperatures in years. Ironically some of the last days of September were the hottest of the year – but most of the good weather was in Dublin! Trout fishing wise it was a disappointing year with fewer anglers fishing the…
September 2011 On the 4th September Oughterard was part of the route for the Ironman 70.3 endurance event. The town provided 50 people to man a feeding station in the cycle. It was a very early start with the station having to be set up by 7.00am and the road from Galway – Maam Cross…
Towards the end of August Christopher and I headed to Kerry for a few days prior to the starting of the school term. We climbed Carrauntoohil – the highest mountain in Ireland for the first time. We planned to climb the mountain by one of the nicer routes and followed the route in Jim Ryan’s…
The summer has been very unusual this year. April had the best dry sunny weather, may was very windy for every day of the month. Much of that continued into June and we are still having more than our fair share of colder than normal weather. Because of this fishing has in general been poor.…
Well the new trout season is well and truly underway and some good fish have been caught. The mayfly is up and running and most people are catching fish. it is quite windy so the flies are skating over the surface – difficult for dappers but successful for dryfly fishermen! The boating requires care not…
On Friday 1st April 2011 Oughterard hosted the President of Ireland to a presentation of all the voluntary effort around the town. A fantastic day was had and everyone in the town made a huge effort to ensure that the town looked splendid. Deirdre was the co-ordinator and host of the event! So Oughterard…
The development 50 competition took place last weekend and there was a very tight battle to the finish by two local teams – – it was won by Mike Faherty and Kevin Molloy who beat Martin Butler and Gerry Molloy into a very close second place.
December – January was one of the coldest spells in history around here! The river froze – to the extent that we needed a crow bar to break the ice! The lake froze all the way to Rouillaun! We had temperatures of -12 degrees centegrade on Christmas morning – with no water!! We got over…
We saw salmon spawning the other day. its hard to photograph but there are two fish in the photo, one sideways digging the gravel the other patiently waiting just above the first fish! It’s time to start planning the year ahead! So why not put a few days aside for trout fishing in April its…
At the end of May 2010 we hosted the SIGMA SPORTS team who were competing in the FBD RAS cycle race around ireland. It was hard to count the calories consumed to re-fuel the team at the end of the day. Dinner alone included four carbohydrates, potatoes, rice, pasta and cous cous. An hour later…
The Development 50 competition on Duckfly took place back in March and was won by a guest of Camillaun – well there’s a first!! David Dinsmore and Mike Shanks scored with 15 minutes to go with a trout of over 9 pounds!!. Wonderful for them and a mighty shock to second place who had managed…
Well in March 2010 I realised a dream and caught my first bonefish. It meant travelling to Peter Mantle’s magnificent new lodge in Abaco, Bahamas but was certainly worth it! So anyone who wants to know more about it all just ask!!
We avoided most of the really cold spell at Christmas having spent Christmas and the new year in Cuba so here’s a couple of contrasting photographs!! Havana at about 25 degrees centigrade and Oughterard at minus five all in the same week! In December – January 2009 / 10 we spent two weeks in…
Great news on the access front the M6 motorway from Dublin to Galway opened on the 18th December. You can now get from the west of Dublin to Oughterard in 2 hrs 20 mins!! – no excuse for not coming fishing for a weekend break great brown trout fishing was never closer!! Given the very…
We had some great fishing in 2009, certainly the Corrib produced some excellent trout and it was encouraging for evening outings to be well rewarded in the summer. In late July I caught two good trout which we kept for a large family dinner, best 3lb 7 oz and second 1lb 14 ozs in two…
2009 saw the best Mayfly in years. Trout returned to the surface in large numbers splashing at hatching mayflies. Those that did not record good catches were happy to report great hatches of fly and large numbers of trout feeding. Not everywhere every day but consistently good hatches and rises through a three week period.…
