18/09 There were good water levels on the Drowes again this week which helped the fishing. The fishery was fairly quiet however with only a limited number rods fishing. Fishing, however, picked up somewhat this week with fair numbers of grilse caught.

A visiting French party started fishing on Saturday and already have caught 4 grilse. Stephen Hopper had a good days fishing on Wednesday recording 3 fish caught on shrimp below Lennox’s Bridge. The fish weighed 4, 5 & 10lb with the larger two being released again.

On Sunday, Colin Gardiner accounted for a 2½lb grilse caught on a spinner from the Washstones.
