Conditions we reasonable at the Weir for the week, with 2 sluice gates open and more fresh fish showing in the river every day. 7 salmon were landed for the week, including a 9lbs fish for Brian Keoghan, taken on spinner. Michael Browne had two fish over two days, both taken on spinner and weighing 12lbs and 12.5lbs. Barry Brown and Henry Cosgrove both had 11lbs fish on spinner, while Declan McInerney took a nice 12lbs springer, also on spinner. The only fish taken on fly fell to German angler Werner Meckle, a long-time visitor, who had an 11lbs salmon.
With the lake upstream rising after recent rain, I would expect water levels to rise in Galway soon, possibly rendering flyfishing more difficult. Fresh fish are showing in better numbers, however, and anglers should see an improvement in sport as a result.
