Fishery manager Colin Folan reported that last week was another good week for grilse fishing in Inagh. We had plenty of rain on two separate days and the water levels were perfect this week. 17 salmon were landed for 51 rod days. Hans Werner (Germany), had the best fish of the week, it weighed 7lbs and was landed at the Derryclare Butts on a size 14 Silver Badger. Hans was also top rod with 5 grilse, including 4 from Derryclare Butts and 1 from Glendallogh Butts. 15 year old Jack Bradbury Hughes (Westmeath), landed his first ever salmon this week. The fish weighed 6lbs and was caught at the Derryclare Butts on a small Cascade, guided by Ceri Jones. John O’Malley (Galway) landed two grilse for his day on Inagh on a Yellow Dabbler. Michael Heery (Dublin), fished Inagh for two days and landed 2 grilse to 6lbs. There were also salmon landed by Andy Walsh (Galway), William Hamilton (Dublin), Paul Caslin (Mayo), Colin Folan (Fishery Manager), Joerg Werner (Germany) and Henry Harendza (Germany).
The sea trout fishing has picked up a little. William Hamilton (Dublin) had 4 sea trout to 3lbs for two sessions on Inagh. Michael Heery (Dublin) caught and released a brown trout of 5lbs or so on a Green Peter. Hopefully the sea trout season will start in earnest in the coming days as there are plenty of fish entering at the moment.
