Mourne A dirty flood came down the river from Monday night (16 April) until Thursday morning (19 April). Thursday saw the river in good condition, a bit grumbly early in the day but well cleaned out by the afternoon. From Friday to Sunday the whole river was perfect. It was Saturday before any fish were landed. My two brothers, Nigel and Travis, both hooked fish below Higgins stream. Nigel landed and returned a near perfect 10lb sea-liced fish on the fly while Travis was unlucky and lost a better fish after a 10-minute battle. Andy Patton also landed a fish of 10lb as did J Winters. On Sunday, Gary Wolfe had another fish of 10lb+ from the Gravenue.
It’s as good a time as any to be looking for a springer, what with good water, good tides, rain on the forecast, the Finn getting fresh runs of fish. Get your fly in the water: you won’t catch one at home!
