Billy Downes reports that as of 13 June the Laune water level is still very low at 0.8m despite recent rain. Members encountered a few nice grilse during the week – one Tralee angler had four grilse for the week but he was the exception because most of us are struggling to meet one. It helps if you get out of course. The Laune is still fishable by all methods but a good rain would improve prospects. That said there will always be a few fish running even in these conditions provided they manage to avoid the draft nets in Cromane and Killorglin.
Prospects: Pray for rain and get out there.
Beat 3: Beat is in need of water more so than lower fisheries about two feet of water would do. The Brown trout fishing continues good and a few salmon are resident in pools. 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.

Go fishing…
Day permits are the same as last year €25 to the end of July and €35 for the months of August and September. Be sure to display your permit on the dash of your car with the date and permit number visible and have the other part with you because you will be asked by members to identify yourself as a legitimate ‘One Day Member’ / Permit Holder.
