Moy Catchment Angling Report – Week Ending 2nd July, compiled by Steve Schreck
A small flood in the Moy catchment late last week made for good sport over the weekend and therefore most fish were caught on Saturday and Sunday. In total 230 salmon were reported caught, again a large proportion being grilse, but there is still every chance of landing a nice fresh spring fish. Water levels at Ballylahan Bridge rose to 0.5m on Saturday but tapered off quickly to 0.25m.
