Salmon and trout reports

RIVER BLACKWATER KENMARE

2 fish landed for the week, one by Kieran Condon weighing 3 ¼ lbs. and the other by Richard Barry of Cork weighing 5 ½ lbs.

RIVER LAUNE BEATS 1 AND 2

6 Fish caught on Beat 1 with 3 landed on the fly ranging from 5 lbs. to 7 lbs. in weight.

RIVER FLESK

10 salmon caught by local and visiting anglers weighing from 3 lbs. to 6 lbs.

RIVER BANDON

11 fish reported caught on the Bandon river averaging 7 lbs. to 7 ½ lbs. in weight

RIVER LEE

6 Salmon reported caught at the weir.

LAUNE ANGLERS WATERS

Water level again, like you would write away for, about 2 feet on the gauge at Johnston's. This is perfect fly fishing water. There should be lots of salmon and lots of grilse in the system.

Because of the good water there is a considerable effort but I know of no fish being reported from our waters. I fished the Laune three times during the last week and did not even see a fish.
