A fairly quiet week on the Drowes with only a few grilse recorded

Lindsey Clarke reports from  the RIVER DROWES – Monday 8^th  to Sunday 21^st August 2016 (2 weeks).

Water levels on the Drowes were a little lower than desired with the gauge reading just under 0.5m for most of the week but were by no means low either. There were a number of salmon recorded over the week and these were mostly grilse. On Tuesday 9^th, David Wilson recorded a 4½lb grilse. On Wednesday 10^th and Thursday 11^th, Harry Lloyd recorded a grilse caught each day on a Rapala lure. These weighed 4 & 2½lb respectively. The second week saw a gradual rise in water levels and by Sunday 21^st the gauge had risen to 0.57m. The River was fairly quiet this week with just a few grilse recorded over the week by guests staying in the fishery accommodations.
