The Visitors are gone and so it is back to Fishing!

After two enjoyable weeks of visitors from Australia showing them the sights, meeting cousins and aunts, I am back on the job again. The river level is still low despite a week of showers. I have reduced the size of the salmon flies to size 18 and am using a red Francis. I had some success with a 1.7lb sea trout at Ballinaroone Beat and had a couple of takes on Kents Beat on a Cascade Shrimp pattern but no hook up. There are a few small grilse of the 2-3lb size being caught. I am off to Bridgetown Priory beat today.
