The lower water levels also impacted on angling on the Owenmore River. As a consequence, angling effort on the Bangor Club water was lower this week. However, anglers who ventured out fishing floating lines and small flies were rewarded with fresh run grilse. Amongst the successful anglers were Mark Mason and Brendan Corr who caught and released a grilse each, while Declan Black, Dublin, had a fine 8 pound salmon. The recent rain will improve fishing conditions on the Owenmore and therefore prospects for the remainder of the salmon season are looking good.

Go fishing…
