Nigel Rush reports that a couple of grilse have been caught at Kylemore but more water is needed to see a real run of fish…
A wet day on Friday gave the river a small lift and the first Grilse of 3.25lb was caught at Derryinver Bridge Pool by Thomas Henry visiting from Scotland.
A further three grilse of 4lb were also landed on Saturday morning. One in Upper and Lower Eugenes on the Upper River by Seamus O’Neil and a fish of similar size to myself from the Rock Pool.
We are going to need some of this promised rain to keep angling momentum up.

Hidden away between the mountains of Connemara and the Atlantic ocean, the Kylemore Abbey fishery is a wild and beautiful place. Kylemore Abbey Fishery consists of the Kylemore Middle and Castle lakes, with five and a half miles of the Dawros river which enters the sea in Ballynakill bay. Salmon and sea-trout run for a good proportion of the year to provide first class fishing on uncrowded waters.
The open panoramas of the lakes contrast with the intimacy of the river to give a variety of fishing combined with stunning scenery unrivalled anywhere in Ireland. Although offering an excellent chance of a fish for most of the season, you will find the real meaning of “a fish is a bonus” at Kylemore.
