Shannonbridge Fishing Report…. Dated 17th July 2005.

The weather continued sunny for most of the weak with just two days of slight overcast conditions. Temperatures were high and reached 30 C / 86 F at times. River level is low and all bank sides are fishable. Unfortunately there is a noticeable absence of anglers which is not helping fishing.

Mick Wright from Leicester completed his July holiday and fished the River Suck on the 11^th July in hot conditions and used the pole with maggot and caster to catch 9 Lb of roach, perch and hybrid. Patchy due to hot weather was his comment.

On 12^th July Mick fished the River Shannon and used the pole and maggot and caster to catch 8 Lbs of roach, hybrid and perch in hot conditions. He returned to The River Suck on the 13^th July and used pole, maggot, caster and seed in hot sunshine to catch 8 Lb of roach, hybrid and perch. Next day he again fished the River Suck with the same method in hot and cloudy conditions and had a mixed bag weighing 7 Lb.

On the 15^th July Mick spent his last day on the River Shannon in cloudy / hot conditions and again used the pole and maggot and caster to catch 8 Lb of roach, hybrid and perch.

Looking forward to his return in September as is his plan.

Colin and Nancy from Kent fished the River Shannon from 11^th to the 15^th July and had 20 Lb of mixed bags fishing with red maggot.
