RIVER DROWES – Monday 11th  to Sunday 17th January 2019.

 

There were nice water levels on the Drowes all week. On Monday the Gauge at the Four Masters Bridge read 0.86m. The river fell steadily over the week due to the mainly dry and mild, spring weather. By the end of Sunday the gauge had dropped to 0.68m. The salmon run is now definitely underway and there were 4 salmon recorded over the week. On Thursday, Ritchie Evans reported an 8½ lb salmon caught on a Flying ‘C’ lure from the Blackwater and 2 further salmon were caught and released of which we are awaiting the exact details. On Saturday, Ian Lowthe accounted for a 6lb salmon caught on a Cascade Variant fly from the Eel Weir. There was a couple of other fresh salmon hooked and lost over the week.
