The very low water levels continued to impact on the angling on the River Moy. Yet, some fisheries saw some good catches.
The Moy Fishery produced a total of 35 fish for the week with 11 of them caught on the Ridge Pool. William Millar, Northern Ireland, was particularly successful catching 3 grilse between 3 lbs. and 7.5 lbs. all on fly. Also on the Ridge Pool, Tony Lyness, Co. Meath, had a nice 7.5 lbs. fish also on fly. UK flyangler, John Chapman, scored on the Weir Pool catching 3 grilse (one released) best at 5.5 lbs.
Peter Marshall, Northern Ireland, had a nine pounder on Gannon’s fishing worm, while Jean Marie Bluet, France, caught two grilse on fly on the Foxford Fishery. The Foxford Club waters produced 61 fish for the week including three grilse for French visitor, Joel Guillou on bubble & fly.
Further upriver on Cloongee, Mark Hourigan, UK, had a cracking 14 lbs. fish on bubble & fly, while Jean Jaques Daurat, France, landed 3 grilse averaging 4.75 lbs. also on bubble & fly. Flyfishing proved to be successful at East Mayo with Gunter Profanter from Austria catching 2 grilse, best at 5lbs. and Frank Legout, France, landing an eight pounder.
