Fishing picked up at Delphi last week, as rain on Easter Sunday brought an end to the long dry spell. The first to capitalise was Arnold Crook, who had a fine fish off Finlough of 11lbs 3oz on a Sunray Shadow. It was indeed well earned as Arnold had fished hard in very difficult conditions up to that. Another guest was next to strike, having spent over a week trying hard he finally got his reward in the stream on Finlough when he landed a sea-liced fish of 7lbs 4oz on a Black and Yellow tube. Martin Cellier had a sea liced fish of 9lbs 6oz off the Turn Pool on a Willie Gunn, and Jonathan Murray from Antrim had a sea-liced fish off the Rock Pool of approx. 8lbs., also on a Willie Gunn.
Others to score over the last week or so included Michael Wymes, who had a fish in the Whin Pool of approx. 7lbs on a Willie Gunn. Maxi Schiedt had one of approx. 7lbs off the shore of Doolough. Richard McDowell had a sea-liced fish from the Whin Pool of 9lbs 10oz on a Yellow Dick. (yes, it’s not a joke). Andrew Lyall had a fish of approx. 8lbs from the Rock Pool on a Garry Dog, while Maxi Schiedt had another from the shore of Doolough of approx. 7lbs.
David Allcutt landed a sea-liced 6lbs 15oz fish off the Meadow Pool on a Delphi Collie, while on the 14th there were 2 double figure fish, one off the Whin taken by Barry Daniel on a Cascade and one of approx. 12.5lbs taken by Ronan Walsh on a Silver Shrimp on the Rock Pool.
On the 15th Angus Sutherland managed to take a sea-liced fish from the Whin Pool of 8lbs1oz on a Collie Dog.
