Drowes Fishery manager Shane Gallagher reports on the last few days on the River…
It has been a pretty slow start to April at the Drowes fishery. P. and K. Mc Gowan had a fish apiece from the Wash Stones and Money Hole on prawn on Tuesday 1st, J. Ciconte had a fish on prawn from the Grazings on Wednesday and there was a fish on spinner from the Lareen stretch on Thursday morning and Marty O’ Hara had a 10lbs fish on yellow belly devon from Corry that afternoon.
Fishing remained slower than would be expected over the weekend. The water level was s at a good spring height of 0.6 metres on the gauge on Monday which was a typical April Day of sunshine and occasional heavy showers.
Fishing at the weekend was poor despite a large number of rods out, only one fish was reported on Saturday and also only one on Sunday.
On Monday one sea liced fish had been reported from Brineys by lunchtime. Interestingly the last 4 fish reported have been on fly, so maybe after a slow start for fly fishing conditions are now improving.
