John Devaney tell us that there was very little coarse fishing in the Athlone/Lough Ree area during the week and it seems that anglers were either enjoying the sunshine or had turned their attention to trout angling.
Some English anglers had nice catches of Tench and Hybrids at Correen Ford on the Suck and later in the week they had big bags of Tench in Shannon Harbour. They were happy.
