Water levels are exceptionally low for spring at just above .4 metres on the gauge. The river is at summer level following an almost entirely dry new year and continuing cold and frosty conditions which look set to persist for much of the coming week.
Fishing has been very slow in the past week with one 10lbs fish reported by Slovakian angler Ino Valustu from the Trout Pool on flying c last Saturday the 27th of February and nothing further reported until today when 2 fish were taken from below Lennox’s Bridge, both of around 10lbs. Trevor Hassan had his fish from Rooney’s Turn on flying c and B. Razzian had his fish on worm from the Money Hole.
