Monday 28th April to Sunday 4th May 2014.
There was little in the way of rain this week once again and the Drowes is now running at just over 4 on the gauge at the Four Masters Bridge. The low summer levels and bright days for the greater part meant that salmon angling conditions were tough and the angling attendance and catches reflected this. There were however, four grilse caught this week.
On Tuesday, Davey McKee recorded a 5lb grilse caught on worm from the Sea Pools. On Thursday, Jim Atkinson reported a 5lb grilse caught on a fly from Briney’s. On Saturday Gerry O’Connell recorded a 5lb grilse caught on a Devon Minnow from the Point of the Meadow and Anthony Molloy accounted for a 4lb grilse caught on a yellow Flying ‘C’ lure from the Upper Mill. There is some rain forecast for the coming week and hopefully this will be sufficient to raise levels in the river.
