Not many on the Drowes but some good salmon caught

Lindsey Clarke reports:

Monday 10^th to Sunday 16^th September 2012.

There were good water levels in the Drowes over the week. The fishery was not particularly busy which is usual for this time of the season. There were a number of salmon recorded however.

On Wednesday, visiting German rod Michael Drabek recorded a lovely fresh 10lb salmon caught on a fly from the Mill Pool. On Thursday, Owen McManus had a good day with 2 salmon caught weighing 6 to 7lb on a Rapala from the Mill Pool & Upper Mill Pool with one of these released again. He also landed a fine 4lb sea trout.

On Saturday, Dessie Moynes caught and released a 3lb grilse on worm from Thomas’s Pool and Tony Lawless logged 2 grilse weighing 3 & 4lb caught on worm from the Mill Pool and the Blackwater with the larger of these being released.

A visiting French party have accounted for a couple of grilse caught and have lost another 7 to date!

Water levels will remain good in the Drowes over the coming week and so prospects look good.
