Nigel Rush reports that Kylemore Abbey Fishery enjoyed more success over the last few days, with Colm  Gallagher landing his first Dawros fish, a grilse of 3lbs from the Lunch Pool, and Hugh Maguire landed a 6lbs fish off the Middle River, both fish taken on the Kylemore Killer pattern. Michael Gallagher landed a 4.5lbs fish from Siddies Pool on the Lower River, and had another fish of 4.25lbs the following day. Neil Spellacy landed 2 fish, both approx. 3.5lbs, from Lavelle’s Pools on the Lower River, both taken on a Galway Black and Yellow fly.

Water levels are dropping away again after last week’s heavy rain, but a lot of fish have been seen in the river, with good numbers of sea trout also starting to appear, although fishing effort on the lakes has been very low so far.
