Mayflies
Two small Boyne tributaries near Castlejordan — the Mongagh coming down from near Tyrrellspass, the Yellow from north of Daingean. Both hold good stocks of small wild brown trout, with better fish to two pounds in the lower reaches below Clongall Bridge. Edenderry & Castlejordan Angling Association controls the fishing and runs it catch-and-release, with sanctuary areas in operation — so it pays to check which stretches are open before you set off.
Hatches & food
Two small mixed-geology Boyne tributaries with typical small-stream fly life — spring olives, summer Blue-Winged Olive and sedge, and a heavy reliance on black gnat and other terrestrials on the lower, slower reaches.
