Moy Catchment Angling Report 21st – 30th September 2025
Following a challenging season the final days of the season provided some good sport in some fisheries in the Moy system with a lot of fish reported as released. Water levels at Ballylahan receded this week from 1.05 m on Sunday 21st September down to 0.72 m by noon on Sunday 28th improving fishing somewhat for the final full week of the season. Weather wise the past week saw moderate to heavy rainfall especially towards the end of the week and wind gusts reaching 40-45km with daytime temperatures of 13 degrees Celsius to 17 degrees Celsius.
