Billy Downes reports that as of Monday 20th June the Laune is on its way up and now at 0.9m. News of fish is scarce enough but a few members did manage to meet fish during the week. On Saturday evening Tom Curtayne met two fish, lost a good one but landed a small grilse.
The Laune with the slight rise is very fishable by all methods just now. More rain would improve prospects; I see there is more on the way again on Friday. Good high tides all this week. To benefit from the tides, be fishing in the lower river about 3 hrs after high tide at Cromane. As our previous secretary, Ted O’Riordan used to say ‘salmon run the Laune every day of the year’. I saw this for myself on Saturday evening when I had to get out of the way of fish running off the tide at in 6 inches of water.
