Fishery manager Osgur Grieve reports on fishing from the 18th to the 25th. This week produced 4 grilse. On the evening of the 20th Gerry Fitzpatrick caught a nice 5lbs grilse on a Willie Gunn variant from the Falls Pool. On the evening of the 21st Stephen Jones caught 2 grilse weighing 4.25lbs and 4lbs, 1 of which he released. He was using a Curry’s Red Shrimp and a Cascade variant. On the 24th Jonathan Roberts caught a 3.5lbs grilse from the Bridge Pool. Well done to all the anglers involved. The fish were showing themselves a lot this week but anglers found it hard to entice them. Hopefully the fish will co-operate more in the coming week with the rain that is forecast.
