Billy Downes reports that as of Monday 16th May water levels are at 1m at the Laune Bridge, beautiful conditions for all methods. Thomas ward landed a bar of silver from Beat 3 this morning. A lovely fin perfect fish, straight from the tide.
With the commercial nets now in operation best days for a fish are probably Saturday, Sunday and Monday. But its always possible to meet one any day. A few fish are being encountered each week and a lot of nice sea trout are being caught on all methods.
As I always say if you get the timing right there is a always a chance of a fish and a fish in double figures possibly. A good sea trout should also be in prospect, most likely spinning or worm but some have also been caught on fly already.
Beat 3:
A few salmon have been caught on Beat 3 already and Thomasz Ekert reports excellent brown trout fishing as a by-catch to his efforts at catching a salmon. Last week he caught more than 30 brown trout and one sea trout. The biggest brown trout of 45 cm he lost a brown trout approx. 60 cm. Please note that the €10 trout permit allows an angler to fish for brown trout ‘fly only’ If you want to spin or worm fish you need to purchase a €25 permit.
