Situated within the midland plain and renowned for producing trophy sized wild brown trout, Sheelin offers the visiting angler the opportunity to catch a specimen trout on a surface fly. To achieve such a feat, knowledge of the areas that hold good stocks of fish, where the best fly hatches occur, the time of day and the season when the flies hatch is the requisite for a successful visit.
