Fisheries Information Manager Markus Müller reports from Ballisodare Fishery – w/e 17th August 2014.
After two very good weeks with over 200 salmon reported, the Ballisodare Fishery saw a relatively slow week with just 27 fish caught. Angling effort was low but most anglers who went out were rewarded with good catches.
At this time of year the average weight of the grilse is around 4 lbs. and most fish were caught on fly or on prawn with some taken on worm. The heaviest fish of the week, a nice 7 pounder, was landed by Jean Bernard Chenaux on worm, while Yvelise Chenaux caught two grilse on fly; both fish were sportingly released. Other successful anglers included Stephen Moore (5 lbs. on fly & released), Colm Walsh (3 lbs. & 5 lbs. on fly) and Paul McLoughlin (6 lbs. on worm).
As of late, water levels seem to have risen again on the Ballisodare River and therefore good fishing conditions are expected for the coming week.
