Pat McDonnell picks up the story:
Few enough anglers about but some good bags were reported by visiting English anglers. Barry Smith and friend from Birmingham had 200lbs of mainly Bream and Hybrids on a combination of maggots and worm on the upper Derg on Friday and went to Lough Grainny on Saturday and had 40lbs + of Roach and returned to Derg on Sunday and had 140lbs of Bream and some nice tench and perch. Their best Bream over the weekend was over 6lbs with Hybrids to 3lbs.
