Plenty of water and no shortage of seatrout on the Owenmore, Kerry

Frank Maunsell reports on the conditions and prospects on the Owenmore Fishery in Co. Kerry…

Plenty of rain for the last couple of days. The river was too high for fishing yesterday but we had a terrific run of sea trout with everyone on the river very happy. We have had seatrout of up to 6 lbs on the lakes and plenty of smaller fish. The river will fish well today even though it is calm at the moment the wind is to pick up in the evening which means there will be good fishing on the lakes.We had fishermen on the river who did not fish it before and they could not get over the amount of fish running in the river. Rain forecast in the south west for the next couple of days which is always good for the system.
