Fishery manager Brian Curran was in touch to report on fishing at Costello and Fermoyle.
It has been a good week on the Costello & Fermoyle Fishery with good water levels and many running fish – both salmon and sea trout.
A number of salmon were hooked last weekend with Hugh Maguire, Sean Bolistrim and Martin Griffin all losing fish. It took the knowledgeable and very experienced local angler, Geoffrey Fitzjohn and his fishing partner on the day, Sean Kelly to land and return 2 grilse from Beat 3. Local angler Jason Folan also had a nice 5lbs grilse on Wednesday.
Neil Spellacy released a fish of 5lb and rose another one in the upper beats.
The water level is slowly fining down but still remains at a good level to allow both salmon and sea trout to make their way up through the river system and into the many loughs higher up.
We await a bit of rain next week to top up the system but the last flood came at the right time for both the fish and the anglers.
Booking can be made through the web site, irelandwestangling.ie and fishery manager, Brian Curan (tel. +353 87 2509722), will be happy to give up to date information on conditions.
