Mornings are fishing well, afternoons can be slow. However, Berry Kenny managed to go out on Friday at 1pm and be back at 4.30pm with 6 fish weighing over 16lb. He anchored off the pylon peninsula and used cove pheasant tail and orange cruncher.
The good evening rise is now starting after 9pm. It can be frustrating with numerous plucks and boils to the fly but great fun.
