Dropping water levels after the recent floods resulted in much better angling conditions on the River Drowes. As a result, more anglers ventured out and were rewarded with some nice catches.
Last Sunday was the best day of the season so far with three fish reported. Fish were also reported last Friday. On March 1st, local angler Joe Broderick caught & released a fine fish estimated at 12 lbs. below Lennox’s. Two days later on the Blackwater Pool, Marty King caught & released two fish both estimated at approx. 10 lbs.
With water levels continuing to drop (currently 0.75 meters) prospects for the coming days are looking good.
