Thursday was a very slow day with few anglers fishing, however, Michael Breslin landed a nice fish of 8lbs on fly. Again, few people fished on Friday, with only 5 fish recorded, mainly caught on worm. Ten were caught on Saturday, including some nice fish weighing 8lbs, 7lbs and 6lbs, mostly on worm and fly.
