The fishing has been quite patchy in recent weeks, with blank days interspersed with days of multiple catches. Fish sizes have varied too from 6lbs to a couple of larger double figure fish. Notable days were March 14th, when 3 fish were reported, 2 from Briney’s and one from the Perch Pool, all on Cascade and March 18th when A. Mc Grane had a fish of almost 14lbs on fly from the Island Pool, C. Gardiner had a 9lbs fish on flying c from the High Bank and B. Grimes had a 10lbs fish on prawn from the Blackwater.
The water level has continued to drop and now stands at 0.5 metres, quite a low spring level. There seems to be numbers of fish running, as there have been decent numbers seen and reported lost, but it may take a little fresh water to improve prospects. It may be some time before fresh water arrives as the forecast is for continued dry, settled, mild conditions for the week ahead.
