Fishery Report: 24th June to 30th June
Water temperature is 19C at 6ft and wind has reduced clarity to 2.3m. Sport is possible with most lines but D12 or 3 lines up to floating have been most popular. At these water temperatures the best drifts are usually over or closer to the deeper water where the cooler more oxygenated thermocline is accessible to the fish. A variety of flies on a washing line, booby, diawl bach, hares lug, cormorant, black buzzer, white cat, goldhead damsel…… have been used to good effect.
