Feddons (West Bank) A total catch of 3 salmon and 1 small grilse were caught. The pattern of the first salmon on the beat being landed in May was repeated for the 10th season in a row with two caught during the past fortnight. Brendan Garland, the well known fly dresser from Belfast, landed and released a fresh 10.5 lb fish from the Lynn pool on a Bann Special and was back in time to demonstrate his skills on the Fly Dressers Row at the Loughs Agency Fair in Newtownstewart. The heavy rain since the 5 June has put the river out of bounds but should yield some good sized fish and grilse later in the month and hopefully some sea trout which usually arrive mid June. It would be a welcome sight to see these return after disappearing a number of years ago.
