River Moy Angling Report Week ending 19/09/21

A typical September week, with a few dry days mixed with heavy thundery downpours and cool south easterly winds.  This kept water levels up all week.  Water levels at Ballylahan Bridge on Monday morning stood at 0.682m and rose a few times during the week to their highest on Thursday evening at 1.058m before levelling back to 0.774m by Sunday night. Air temperatures did not exceed 18˚ Celsius for the week with water temperatures hovering at 10˚-12˚ Celsius, normal for the time of year.  Fewer anglers were observed angling due to the conditions although 152 salmon were still recorded caught. Most of these fish were caught on Saturday and Sunday, with a good percentage released from all fisheries.
