Posted by admin on May 8th, 2012 - Comments Off on Mourne/Derg report week ending 7 May 2012
Mourne Wall to wall sunshine all week, a nippy north wind in your face but rising tides to make anglers think, made for challenging conditions on the Mourne over the past week. Anglers were thin on the ground due to the river showing its bones. Most activity cantered on the Gravenue in Sion Mills and Lifford Bridge. There were a few fish landed, the best being A Pattons fish of 11lb from the Gravenue. Others included:
Thur 4 May Mark Kane 7lb Gravenue, Alister Scott 8lb Gravenue, A Devenny 8lb Strabane.
Sat 28April A patton 11lb Gravenue.
Rain forecast early this week might bring the river up, good tides and there’s the possibility of grilse putting in a show soon.
Derg Too early for salmon but worth a throw for good quality brown trout.
Note: Lots of smolts around the Mourne and Derg at the moment: please handle with care!
