Ian Powell of Blackwater Lodge reports…

Run of Fish:

The odd fresh fish is being seen on the lower river, and the tidal reaches at Cappoquin are reportedly full of fish just waiting for a rise to bring them into the main river.

Catches:

Joint Third Best Day of Season on Saturday 16th. Four grilse caught. I caught the Second Best Bag so far with 3 grilse all released on shrimp from the lower river.
We have caught between 1 & 4 fish each day for the last 5 days.

Methods:

OK for all methods at the moment albeit at a low level.

Prospects:
Fish are now showing more interest in the shrimp/prawn
both on the lower & upper river.
Availability:
Is OK for both B&B accommodation & fishing for the coming weeks.
Self-catering is filling up for September.

Continuing dry forecast up until next Sunday when a depression is forecast to hit Ireland with a band of heavy rain.
