Catches.
The last few days have been rather quieter. Fish are not showing & are difficult to tempt. Four fish caught today which brings the total to 74 fish caught for August & 319 for the season to date. Paolo ratti (Italy) caught his First Ever Salmon – a 7 pounder on spinner from the Green Bank on Upper Kilmurry.
Prospects.
Rather challenging
currently, but expecting it to come good with all the fish that ran in on the
last flood. Tides are peaking at 3.8m for the next couple of days which may
help to bring fish in.
