Report for weekending 06 September:

There were good water levels on the Drowes this week again. The gauge at the Four Masters Bridge read 0.65m at the start of the week. The river fell over the week and by Sunday the gauge read 0.56m. The river was fairly quiet which is usual given the time of the season but for those that did venture out, the fishing was good. One visiting group of 6 French rods recorded 26 salmon caught for the week! These were mostly caught on small Rapala lures with the rest caught on worm.

It was much the same story on Lough Melvin this week. There was little angling effort for salmon and not much to report in the way of salmon catches.
