Barrier Counts June 9th – 15th, 2014

The traps went in on the Dungarvon and the Northwest Barriers the end of May. With the cold weather the slow arrival of fish was not a surprise.

This past week saw the first salmon arriving at the Northwest Barrier – this time last year there were still none that had reached the trap.
