Fishery manager Nigel Rush reports that rain over the weekend brought the Dawros River into fine fishing order, with fresh fish taking advantage of the increase in water levels to run upstream. They finished off with 5 grilse on Sunday and one salmon of 10lbs for Geoffrey Fitzjohn. Ronnie Counihan had 2 grilse from the lower river, Gerry Walsh one of 4lbs, Seamus O’Neil another of 4lbs and a 4lbs fish for Nigel himself from the Rock Pool.
Another fish was reported on Monday morning for Neil Spellacy from the Middle River at 6lbs, before the flood rose too high and dirty, giving a total of 8 fish so far this week for 9 rod days. To the end of June the fishery recorded 28 salmon, 20 more than for the same period last year!
The river rose significantly after persistant overnight rain so water will hold for the rest of the week. To book fishing, contact Nigel at 087 9580702.
