Water levels were fair all week on the Drowes. The gauge read 0.56m on Monday and by Sunday the gauge had only fallen to 0.54m. The river fished well given the fairly low attendance with some 20 salmon caught. J. McArlean reported 4 grilse/salmon to 12lb caught and released on fly from the Mill Pool for his days fishing with all of these released again. Peter Cooks logged a 4lb grilse caught on a fly.
Local rods Danny Fox and son John fished for a day and recorded a fish apiece caught on fly. Danny’s was 7lb and Johns 4½lb. 2 French parties staying in the fishery accommodations were fishing this week. One party recorded 2 salmon caught on spinner weighing 4 & 7lb.
