Fishery manager Terry Gallagher reports that very low water conditions continued right up to Sunday which kept rod pressure low. That said, Padraic McDonagh still managed to tease out a fresh off the tide grilse of 4lbs on River Beat 1. Then the heavens opened and by Sunday afternoon the upper fishery was in full flood which at the time of writing is working its way down through the system. As ever when we get heavy rain, the lower river gets a rise even before the main flood hits. It was during this rise that our latest 3 grilse were caught. Damian Hanley and Geoffrey Fitzjohn landed 2 bars of silver, both 3lbs 8oz on Sunday and Sean Kelly caught the third on Monday evening, also 3lbs 8oz. Encouragingly, some decent sized sea trout were also seen on the move through River Beat 1.
Go fishing…
