Fisheries Information Manager Markus Müller reports from Ballisodare Fishery:
With a total of 152 salmon, anglers on the Ballisodare Fishery enjoyed good sport during the past two weeks. As in previous weeks, most fish were caught on the fly with some on worm and many fish being released.
The majority of the fish are now within the 4 lbs. to 5 lbs. range. However, anglers still have a chance to catch bigger fish: Gerry McHugh (fly), Hugh Cushnahan (worm), John Scanlin (fly) all landed nine-pounders during the week. Keith Campbell had a great day’s fishing catching 3 fish (2 x fly (one released), 1 x worm), all between 5 lbs. and 6 lbs., while visiting angler, Jens Frey, got two (4lbs. & 6 lbs.) on the prawn.
Despite the lower than normal water levels, prospects for the next few weeks are looking quite promising as more and more grilse show at the Falls.
