Nigel Rush reports from Kylemore that although rod numbers are well down on last year, the catch for the season is almost the same as 2010, which was a good season on Kylemore with a very good grilse run. Nigel himself landed 2 fish yesterday, including a nice grilse of 5.5lbs, released again. Another angler landed 3 fish from the Upper River, all returned, while Denis McMurray landed a nice fish in the Rock Pool, also returned.
Jorgen Fuchsbauyer (Austria) landed his first ever fish from the Rock Pool, a 4lbs grilse, while Valentine Flynn landed two for his three days, and Alex Findlater landed 2 fish of 4lbs and 2.75lbs from Lavelles and the Flat Pool respectively, returning the latter.
