Mourne The sunshine continued for a second week on the trot. A wet front, which it was hoped, would bring some relief for anglers fizzled out with no effect leaving the Mourne very low and full of glar. A few fish were landed by those early birds willing to put in the effort.
Wednesday 29 May: Tom Cashell, 6.5lb Gravenue

Derg Nothing of note to report.
Good rain forecast for Tuesday to Thursday coming from the south-west should provide relief for fish and anglers. There is evidence of a few fish around Lifford Bridge and hopefully this is the tip of the iceberg. Over the years, the bulk of Mourne grilse could be expected around the second week in June with the Finn getting their main run during the first week. In more recent years, the Mourne run appears to be getting later with the bulk of fish going to the Strule. Unfortunately, the Derg run has suffered a bit but initiatives by Derg Angling Club it is hoped will over time help restore the river to its former status.
