After a wet week and our prayers being answered we finally got the rain we have been longing for. The river at Ballyduff peaked on Saturday at 1.46m a rise from 0.17 on the 08 August. The river came down fast and heavy giving the entire river a badly needed clean out and driving out fresh water well into the estuary calling our awaiting autum salmon to make the run up river.
As it fining down in the last few days fishing was restricted to heavy material. Spinning was the order of the day today and Connie and his guest Gavin Wishart headed for our upstream beat Ballincurrig after seeing a few fish breaking the surface they finally hooked and landed a lovely silver fish of around 7lbs at the pump house flat.
Jason was guiding our French guest Jean Pierre on Ballygarrett even tho not landing a fish they saw some lovely fish moving through the beat.
The coming week looks very promising with the river fining down and the forecast in our favour we are sure to see plenty of action.
