Frank Maunsell from the Owenmore Fishery reports that the rain is just right and the fishing is great…

The last few days on the river have been terrific. We have had just the right amount of rain falling every second day which has kept the river in perfect fishing order. We have had south westerly winds which is the best wind on the fishery and we have had loads of fish. Every man on the river has had fish and even though the winds were quite strong which made fishing very difficult on the lakes one of our regulars had 10 trout on the lake yesterday weighing up to 2 1.2 lbs. An 85 yr old man walked across the Bog into Finnertys lake and had a most enjoyable day.

The grilse have arrived. We saw a fair share of them entering the river and one of our regulars had two on Friday 5 lbs and 7 lbs. The weather is looking good (rain) for the foreseeable future.
