Lindsey Clarke reports on fishing on the River Drowes for the last week.
The river ran at low levels all week with the gauge hovering in and around 0.48 metres. This did not seem to unduly worry the salmon and fish were caught on every day but Saturday (2 hooked and lost). On Monday, Joe Carey recorded an 8lb salmon caught on a fly from the Mill Pool.
On Tuesday, Jackie McArlain reported an 8½lb salmon caught on prawn from Briney’s and Robert Downing accounted for a 7lb salmon caught on fly from the Mill Pool. On Wednesday, Michael Kruse recorded an 11½lb salmon caught on fly from Briney’s.
On Thursday, Michael McGiver reported an 8lb salmon caught on prawn from the Washstones. On Friday, Eunan O’Connor logged a 7lb salmon caught on fly from The Terrace. On Sunday, Phillip Hart reported an 8½lb salmon caught on a fly from the Island Pool and Patrick O’Malley accounted for an 8lb salmon caught on prawn from the Mill Pool.
Prospects for the coming week look very good once again
The Rossinver Fishery on Lough Melvin is also producing some nice fish at the moment, and is well worth a visit.
