Low water levels impacting on good salmon fishing on the River Fane

By

Fishing conditions have improved slightly on last week on the Fane. There are plenty of Salmon in the River, but due to the water level still low the Salmon are slow to take. It looks like we should get more rain this week and this will help improve the fishing. John Boyle from Crossmaglen had one Salmon yesterday and lost one as well as reports of other fish caught and lost. From now on anyone fishing on the lower part of the river-below Craigs Pool has a fair chance of getting a Salmon.

04/09 The Owenea ran at low summer levels from Monday to Thursday with the gauge only just reading over 0.10 metres. However, for the last three days of the week we received good water levels with a flood occurring on Friday (0.29m), Saturday (0.41m) and Sunday (0.23m). The gauge average for the week read 0.20 metres. The fishery was reasonably busy with 34 visiting rods fishing for 54 rod days.

The fishery fished well with a number of salmon/grilse recorded with most of these caught during the good water at the weekend. Given here are some of the catches from the week. On Monday, Niall Hosey recorded a 5½lb grilse caught on worm from beat 8. Young visiting French angler Helene Trividic accounted for a 2 lb grilse caught on a fly from beat 7. On Tuesday, Joe Tracy recorded a 3lb grilse caught on a worm. On Wednesday, Tony Fitzgerald logged a 2½lb caught. On Friday, Mickey McLoughlin recorded a 6lb grilse caught on a fly from beat 9. On Saturday, Jim McLean accounted for 3 grilse weighing 5, 3 & 3lb caught on a spinner from beat 8 with the two smaller fish being released.
