Fishery manager and top chef Trevor Down reports that Screebe has started to see its first good run of salmon this year. The first salmon of the year was caught and released by Trevor himself, on a Francis fly – it was approx. 5lbs and sea-liced. On the 16th Tom Morrison from Northern Ireland had a 4lbs fish from Screebe River; also on the 16th Jon Lucas from France had a 5lbs grilse from the Salmon Pool. From the 16th to the 22nd of June , fishing just 1 to 2 hours a day Trevor had a fish every day, and 2 on the 22nd, all between 5 and 7lbs bringing his total to 9 fish to date.
All were wild fish, and all released. On the 20th Kevin Cronin had a 4lbs grilse and a 2lbs sea trout from the Salmon Pool. On the 21st Patrick Delap, Screebe’s new shooting manager, had 2 fish from the Salmon Pool between 5 and 6lbs – both released. On the 22nd Neil Seales from Northern Ireland had 2 sea trout around 2lbs from Screebe Lake. With rod pressure very low and sea trout starting to appear things look very promising for the next few weeks.
