Mourne Wall-to-wall sunshine for the whole week made angling difficult! Early morning and evenings when the sun was low offered the best chance of a fish. As expected, catches suffered due to the poor conditions although there was some action earlier in the week before the water ran off. I have received reports of a fish or two landed just below Newtownstewart on the lower Strule which is encouraging for anglers anywhere upstream of Sion Mills.
Sunday 20 May: BHutchinson 8lb, Purgatory; J Winters 8lb, Gravenue (returned);S Arbuckle two fish around Strabane.
Monday 21 May: two or three fish landed around Sion but details are sketchy.
Saturday 26 May: K Melaugh 9lb, Gravenue.
Derg No catches to report but given a drop of water from now on you could expect a fish or two around Ardstraw.
Outlook Difficult to predict: given some fresh water we would expect better numbers of mostly grilse to start putting in an appearance. Fingers crossed for rain!
