Barrier numbers as of September 30th
Again last week there were very few new fish at the Northwest and Dungarvon Barriers. With an increase though in the numbers of fish being caught at the traps we look forward to bigger increases to come.
Five new fish moved in at the Northwest Barrier giving a total of 294 compared to 980 (up 28) the same time last year . Brook trout numbers are still down as well. Totals as of September 30th are shown below.
