Fishery manager Osgur Grieve reports on fishing from the 8th to the 15th. On the 8th Jean Francois Calvar had a nice 4lbs grilse which he returned on a small black fly from the middle garden pool. On the 10th Jean Jacque and Jean Francois Calvar had 5 sea trout between them ranging in size from 1lbs to 1.5lbs from beats 1 and 9, all of which were returned of course. The sea trout numbers have been very low this year so it was great to see some nice sea trout being caught. The Calvars struck again on the 11th catching and releasing 3 more sea trout weighing 1lb, 1ls, and 1.5lbs. On the 13th Benoit Delille caught and returned a 1lbs sea trout from the Square Pool. Also on the 13th Frederick Murphy caught a 3lbs grilse which he released on a Cascade from the Black Banks. On the same day Martin Wiltort caught a nice 3lbs grilse on a Cascade from the Colonels Run. Willliam Dunbar caught a grilse of 3.3lbs from the Coronation Pool on an Ally’s shrimp on the 15/9/15. With so much rain recently it has meant the river was unfishable on 2 days this last week. Hopefully we will have more to report next week.
With rain forecast we hope to have more to report next week as we still have a few fresh fish entering the system. At the moment we have beats available during September, if you would like to book some fishing please call 095 42208 or check out www.aasleaghlodge.ie
