Thereafter, the river gradually dropped and by Sunday the gauge read 0.67m.

On Monday, Nigel Abrahams recorded a 3lb grilse caught on a Rapala lure from the Black Water. On Tuesday, Nash McDaid reported a 4lb grilse caught on a Flying ‘C’ lure from the Mill Pool. Johnny Philpot registered a 4lb grilse caught and released on shrimp from the Black Hole. David Carolyn accounted for 2 grilse weighing 2½ & 5½lb caught on a fly from the Black Water. With wet and variable weather we are receiving at present, the Drowes is guaranteed to maintain its good water levels next week.
