Monday 8th March. A quite respectable figure of 3 Salmon to report this week – one to Mike Dwyer on Tuesday on the southern end of the lake with 2 more on Saturday to Brod O’Sullivan and Michael O’Sullivan. Fishing effort has been low (on weekdays especially) and fishing conditions have not been ideal with cool easterlies and sunshine for most of the week. The water level is very low for this time of the year with very low rainfall for a number of weeks. The recent County Council survey has the water temperature at 4.95deg and the clarity at 3.1m - which is excellent.

7 Mar: Three salmon to report at from Michael O Sullivan, Brod O Sullivan and Mike Dwyer.

21 February: I have decided to retire as Manager of the Waterville Fisheries Development Group with effect from the 1st March 2010. I very much regret that I have to take this step but due to other commitments and associated factors, I am no longer in a position to fully concentrate on the many tasks associated with the overall management of the Waterville system. I would very much like to put on record my appreciation of all the people who have helped this organisation over the years.
Thanking You
John
