Billy Downes of the Laune Salmon and Trout Anglersā AssociationĀ reports thatĀ on SaturdayĀ Ā the water level rose to 1.10m at the Laune Bridge or 1 foot 4 inches at Johnston’s; lovely water for all methods. We had hoped that the rise would improve the fishing but the vast majority of anglers who fished over the weekendĀ blanked on all methods. Members were hoping that there would still be a run of salmon into the system late in August but it was not to be.
Recent catches include on by the club charimanĀ on Thursday evening at the Rock Pool andĀ two anglers met 4 fish but onlyĀ landedĀ fish in Johnston’s on Saturday.Ā Paul Murphy landed a nice fresh grilse of 4 lbs and lost a bar of silver spinning. Richard Barry hooked two on the fly but lost both, they appeared to be fresh moving fish too. But a good few other anglers did not get a touch. One other fish, 8lb was reported on September 1.
