Monday 18th to Sunday 24th June 2018.
The Drowes ran at very low levels all week once again. On Monday the gauge at the Four Masters Bridge read only 0.2m and by Tuesday this had dropped to 0.28m! After some limited rain the river started rising but only reached 0.35m on Wednesday. The river then fell slowly again to read 0.34m by the end of Sunday.
With the warm temperatures and bright conditions, angling was hard work and rod attendance low. It was mainly the booked in guests that fished and early morning and late evening offered the best chances once again. There were a number of grilse reported. Richard Evans recorded 2 grilse caught on worm from Red Roof.
