The Drowes ran at low levels this week. On Monday the gauge read 0.45m and by the end of play on Sunday the reading had dropped to 0.42m. It was a fairly quiet week and to date we have only heard of 7 salmon caught.
On Wednesday, Richard Evans recorded an 8lb salmon caught on worm from Briney’s and Mick Kirby accounted for a 5lb grilse caught on shrimp from the Broadwater. On Saturday, Juan Lopez Cambetno reported an 8½lb salmon caught on a Flying ‘C’ lure from The Washstones. On Sunday, Rory Morrin recorded an 8lb salmon caught on fly from the Island Pool and Antonio Barreiro logged a 5lb grilse caught on worm from the Black Hole. We still await details of the other 2 captures.
Lough Melvin
Melvin was fairly quiet. Fishing conditions were poor with wintery showers interspersed with sunny periods and strong winds. There seems to have been very little effort in the way of trout angling. There were 4 salmon caught trolling on Sunday but I am still awaiting details of these fish.
