Conditions have been challenging of late on the river and lake, however, with the fluctuating water level, Newport House reported some good sport for anglers. Early in the week local angler, Eamon Kennedy, fishing with Gardiner Mitchell, boated 20 sea trout and one grilse for a day on Beltra. The pair were accompanied by Chris McCully the following day and had a total of 14 sea trout, up to 2lbs.
One the Newport River, Max Marti had a 6lbs grilse on a shrimp pattern, Tony Murtagh had a grilse of 4.5lbs and Jimmy Laffin landed one grilse and three sea trout, his best sea trout weighing 2bs.
