Fishery manager Nigel Rush reported on the 16th that “it was this day last year that we hit 123 salmon. 3 weeks ago I was boasting that we were four weeks ahead of the previous year with regard to comparative salmon numbers. How quickly things can change! September last year we added a further 51 fish to the years tally… just 6 so far this September.”
The week was slow and of the 2 fish that were landed a fish of 9.5lb fell to Andrew Crouchman from the Rock Pool on a Gold Head Hares Ear, and the second to IFI’s Kevin Crowley from the Upper Lake whilst guiding angling journalists from Germany.
There was an improvement with the sea trout, with 32 for the week reported for 12-rod days (lake fishing).
Some overnight rain on the 15th has lifted the water and with a relatively busy week ahead, hopefully some good news to ensue?
