Monday 28th April to Sunday 4th May 2014

The winds remained cool and predominantly easterly this week with the barometer rising and falling regularly. Also, most days were very bright and the lough is very low at this stage. Basically, conditions were poor and as a result, Melvin was fairly quiet this week. I have heard of no salmon caught to date and those rods that were out fishing for trout reported that it was very tough with only a few small trout recorded for the day’s fishing. There is some rain forecast this week and hopefully this will be heavy enough to ‘freshen up’ the lough.
