Patience is a virtue and we all know a fisherman requires lots of patience.

No sign of fish movement, although the nights are cooling off and the water level is sufficient. Wilson's approx. 6 miles downriver are reporting some fresh run August fish mixing with fish holding in the cold water pools. Pond's approx. 1 mile downriver have had a couple of salmon hooked this past week, again holding in cold water. Some fish are undoubtedly travelling at night.

I expect to see fish showing any day now and will be putting a couple of rods on the water this coming week.

If you are ever in the Dungarvon area drop in to the counting station, most fish come in at night, are counted during the summer and released around Moose Season. Moose - there is a cow and two calf's in the area at this time along with a small bear.

Hunting fever is setting in, we are booked solid with the exception of 4 days and have had to turn down bookings, for the whole hunting season.
