The River Lee has started to account for some good fish with fish to 13lbs been taken in the last fortnight. The ESB have been releasing water for short periods of time and this seems to have spurred on a few fish. Last Tuesday week 5 fish were taken of the Inniscarra beats with the best of 13lbs falling to Paul Hanley.
The Munster Blackwater has seen a slight slow down in sport compared to a couple of weeks ago, though rod effort also seems to be low. However fish are still to be seen moving through the lower beats though somewhat reluctant to take perhaps down to water & weather conditions. Should water levels continue to drop a little more the fish coming in of the tides will be more inclined to settle in the lower beats giving a better chance to be caught, either that or very good flood is required to get a serious run of fish entering the river.
Salmon are being caught in the Laune over he last two weeks and again while not in great numbers the fish are present, but traveling through to the lake at very high speeds, requiring the fly to be dropped on their nose to get a take, early morning with a high seems to give the best results.
