| Searching for that ever elusive early Springer |
Opening day saw
very high water levels on the Blackwater. However clarity was good so we
decided to head of upsstream and try the Ballyhooly Beat.
Levels were just
a little too high for the wood pool so we tried the Castle Flat above the
bridge. This is a great flat for high water.
We landed several
Salmon and Seatrout kelts but that an opening day springer eluded us.
Hopefully
waterlevels will continue to drop over the coming week. With all the high water
over the previous month I’d be very surprised if there wasn’t a few Springers
about, though levels will need to drop in order to have a chance of locating
them.
It’s worth noting
that depsite the high water levels the I was still able to catch on the fly
using one of Guideline's Skagit heads and 15 feet of T14 with a Banana Fly.
The River Lee
accounted for an opening day Springer of 8.5lbs caught below the Ballincollig
Weir spinning.
