Fishery manager Terry Gallagher was in touch to report that the last couple of weeks have seen the beginnings of a run of fish at Costello and Fermoyle, with springers and grilse entering the system in good numbers. Geoffrey Fitzjohn struck again, this time on River Beat 3, landing a 5lbs 8oz grilse on the Round Pool with a size 12 Black Shrimp. Padhraig McDonagh also landed a bar of silver, 6lbs grilse, on the Cabbage Pool at River Beat 1. At the time of writing, water levels are getting low but fish are still coming in off the tide and into Beat 1.  With rain arriving at the moment, things are sure to get interesting!
