Eileen Carroll tells us that 1 salmon weighing 14lbs was landed by a local angler spinning at Johnson’s Fishery of the River Laune. A French Angler landed 2 grilse weighing 3lbs each spinning on Beat 2.  Another French angler had a salmon of 11lbs on Beat 2 of the Laune, spinning. Water levels medium a lot of fish hooked and lost.

Billy Downes, Laune Salmon and Trout Anglers’ Association, reports  that as of Monday 12th of June the Laune had risen to almost 1.8m. A bit on the high side but as it falls it should give ideal angling conditions for all methods for the next two weeks…

During the past week there were some very good fish landed the best that I know was 15.5 lbs landed by Paul Murphy. Thomas Ward had fish on Thursday and Friday evening on the fly, they were respectively 11.75 lbs and over 12 lbs.  Some nice fresh grilse also landed over the past week.

That said it’s still possible to fish and not meet one but try fishing when the nets are off Saturday to Monday for the best chance of a pull.

Prospects:  Beautiful water in prospect for next two weeks lets hope some more good fish run the system and delay in Laune Anglers waters long enough to give our members and visitors a chance to catch one.

Beat 3:           There was one grilse reported from Beat 3 for the week on low water but this fresh water height is ideal for salmon fishing on the Beat.  Trout fishing should be coming into its best for the rest of this month.
