MOUNT FALCON COUNTRY HOUSE HOTEL

Posted in Jul 2015

The first week of the month was quiet with just 2 fish recorded.

On Monday the 6th we saw a much needed rise in water and over the course of the week 19 salmon were taken, these were mainly small grilse (on the Moy the early grilse tend to be small and subsequent rises in water bring in the larger fish).

Week commencing 13th July saw 17 salmon taken, with a noticeable increase in size, the majority weighing between 4 and 6 lb. 
Week commencing the 20th July brought with it increased water levels and the best run of the year to date. In all 69 fish were taken, the 21st was a bumper day with 23 fish to 8lb in weight being recorded.

During the last week high water on 27th curtailed the fishing with only one grilse taken, despite this during the last 4 days 57 grilse were caught.

Total catch for Mount Falcon Moy Fishery in July 163 salmon, heaviest fish recorded 10lb.
Fish were also taken guests fishing on the Ridge Pool, Carramore Lake and The Owenduff (waters that are included in our 3 Rivers Package).
