Fisheries Information Manager Markus Müller reports from the Moy – w/e 14th September 2014.
Water levels on all fisheries in the region have reached a worrying all time low for the year. Most spate rivers suffer extremely badly from theses exceptional low water conditions and the drought also impacted heavily on the bigger systems such as the Moy or Ballisodare. As a consequence, angling effort is very low these days with only very few venturing out salmon fishing. However, some visiting anglers from France who were persistent enough caught a few fish on the River Moy’s Rinanney Fishery. Other successful visiting anglers included Richard Stevens, Northern Ireland, who had one fish on spinner on the Colcroonan Fishery and Frenchman, Eric Fabre, who landed a 5.5 lbs. grilse on prawn on Gannon’s.
Unfortunately, prospects for the remaining two weeks of the season don’t look great as there is no significant change in the weather expected.
