Fishery manager Osgur Grieve reports on fishing from the Erriff for the period 19th – 30th August. Norman Goldberg and his son Jules stayed and fished for a few days with us and were very unlucky to have lost 4 salmon between them for their stay from Beats 3 and 9. On the 20th Clare O’Neil also lost a fish, this time from the Quarry pool on Beat 2. Fishing can be tough sometimes but hopefully next time things will improve for them. The next flood brought on good action to local angler James O’Neill who had a small fresh grilse of 2.5lbs on a Munro Killer tube as well as returning 5 sea trout ranging in weight from 0.5lbs to 1.25lbs on a Silver Stoat’s Tail.
The Erriff traditionally fishes very well in September and could be well worth a throw if thwe weather is right over the next few weeks. For bookings please call (095) 42208 or check www.errifffishery.ie
