The river dropped this week, Monday 19th to Sunday 25th March, and is now at low levels but the good fishing continued. The gauge read 0.50m at the start of the week and was reading 0.48m by the end of play on Sunday. The week brought some lovely spring days and a fair attendance on the fishery. There were some 18 salmon caught and we await details of some catches. Given here are some of the catches entered in the register.
On Monday, Michael Kruse recorded an 11lb salmon caught on a spinner from the Upper Mill Pool.
On Wednesday, Paul McCausland reported a 10lb salmon caught & released from the Island Pool and E. Duffy reported a salmon caught from the Long Hole.
On Saturday, Michael McGiver logged a 6lb fish caught on prawn from the Mill Pool.
On Sunday, Daryl Kennedy accounted for an 11lb salmon caught on prawn from the Blackwater.
Prospects for the coming week look very good once again.
