There have been a few reports recently of some sea trout being caught on the Boyne estuary around Mornington with fish averaging over a pound in weight. Fish are reportedly being taken on fly and lure. Water levels are still high at this stage but have been falling back and clearing in recent days.
In addition, we have just received a report from Peter Cunningham of the Drogheda Angling Centre who paid a visit upstream to the Oldbridge Fishery yesterday evening in search of a sea trout or two. This was not really a speculative visit though. Peter had noticed a few signs over the last few days which led him to believe that there might be a few fish around so he decided to pay a visit to the Oldbridge fishery. His hunch proved to be right and fishing into darkness he was rewarded with 7 nice fresh run fish, the biggest of which weighed in at just over two pounds. All of the fish were taken on the fly with traditional sea trout patterns working well. All fish gave a good account of themselves, fought well and were photographed quickly before being returned safely to the river.
For all of your up to the minute information on fishing in the local area why not give Peter a call or drop into him for a chat at the Drogheda Angling Centre, Boyne Shopping Centre, Drogheda.
