Consistent fishing with some big fish lost.....................................

Report for the Four Weeks from May 24 to June 21.

For this period when have had 52 fish to 14.6lb for just 180 rod days.
Of these, 21 were over 10lb. & 11 were over 9lb.
Just 11 came from the lower river & 41 from the upper river.
Some very large fish have been met but lost.
One June 6, one of around 30lb. was lost on the Bridge Pool at Ballyhooly.
On June 13, one of @20lb. was lost whilst being beached when the angler 6 piece rod exploded into a 9 piece.
On June 20, another fish ~20lb. was lost - again on the Bridge Pool at Ballyhooly.
One of these days one of these very big fish will be landed.
The river was falling steadily up until June 6 & had got down to 0.33m on the Ballyduff gauge at that stage. It rose to 0.96m on June 7 & further to 1.04m on the 10th. Since then it has been falling steadily & is at 0.32m.
During this time we have had only four blanks days.
The weather has been very warm & sunny in the last week or so, but it looks as if it is going to break from about Wednesday on which will help the fishing even more.
