LAUNE SALMON AND TROUT ANGLERS’ ASSOCIATION WATERS AND BEAT 3
Angling Report 25th June (Email to Laune Angling Report)
Laune Salmon and Trout Anglers’ Association waters and Beat 3.
Water now at 3 feet on the gauge at Johnston’s. With all the great water we had for the week one would have expected the fishing to be better up to Wednesday it was not good, put it down to water being too high especially for fly.
From Thursday on fish were being met on most fisheries. The angler who got things going was Tom Curtayne from Killorglin who had a sparkling fish of 9.5 lbs at Crowley’s on Thursday followed by a 17 pounder at the Rock Pool on Friday 22nd. Members are also continuing to catch nice sea trout on all methods. There were a total of 10 fish reported for the week.
Beat 3: Richard Miller from Tralee had 2 fish on Beat 3 on Friday an 11 pound fish and a 6 pound fish. John Hussey had a fish of 10lbs on Saturday. There were also fish caught by visiting anglers. Water perfect for Beat 3. (photo attached)
