June Report - the Best since 2005
We caught a total of 61 salmon & grilse for June. This was the best total for the month since 2005.
The size of the fish was much bigger than normal. Of these, only 15 were under 5lb., averaging 3.4lb. 29 were in the 5-10lb. class, averaging 6.7lb., and 17 were above 10lb. - averaging 11.1lb.
On June 25th., we had the biggest flood of the season. As this flood fined off, we had some of the best fishing we have had so far this year, with 21 fish to 10lb. caught for the last four days of the month with few rods fishing.
Best Fish of the month of June.
July kicks off well!
We have had ~40mm rain in the period July 4-8 & a dirty flood on the river. The forecast now is for a period of settled weather right though this week, so we can expect the river to settle down & start fishing really well. The run of fish is a mixture of very well conditioned chunky grilse and salmon in the 8-14lb. class.
This fine 14 pounder was taken by Gary Pickett (N. Ireland) on July 1st.at the tail of Churchill's Pool on Beat 10 - Ballincurrig on the middle of the upper river.
