Luke O’Connell reports
A good start was had to the week with 3 fine days fishing, but the warm, dry and bright conditions put a halt to the fishing from Thursday onwards. Between Monday and Wednesday, before the weather picked up, 17 fish were caught with several others released.
Some of the successful anglers included: Sean Maye with a 9 lbs. fish on the fly, Leslie Cooper with a ten pounder at the falls on the worm, Stephen Cassols with a fish of 9 lbs. also on the worm and Sean Mitchell who landed a 10 salmon on the fly upriver.
Gerard Merrick and Dennis Barrett both had 9 lbs. fish on the fly upriver on Tuesday. The rest of the fish were between 5 lbs. and 8 lbs., with the average weight for the week being 8lbs.
Between Thursday and Sunday there was just one fish caught per day, all on the fly upriver, while Dermot Glennon had the first fish on the prawn of 2016, a fish of 8 lbs. at the falls which was released.
