Frank Maunsell from the Owenmore Fishery reports:
The Boats on the two lakes were booked out at the week end by the same group. The White Lake fished very well on Saturday and Finnertys was a bit dour – there were only a few fish caught in it. The lads on the White Lake said they met fish on every drift. The fish averaged a lb to 1 1/2 lbs and they reckoned they landed over 25. They saw one fish of about 5 lbs jumping in the water and two or three good fish came to the fly and swirled and left it. That has been happening all the year.
We had a flash flood yesterday and the river rose by 18 inches so with the constant showers it will fish well for the next few days. A lot of the fish caught in the lakes over the week end were bars of silver which means they are still running straight through.
