FEBRUARY ROUND-UP · 2 March 2010
In an exceptionally cold, dry month at Delphi, just three spring salmon were caught – the most notable being Rudi Groener’s near-15-pounder from Morrisons Pool.
Rod effort was very low, as was the river itself for most of the time. Rainfall was little more than two inches, making it the driest February since 1986. For 21 of the 28 days the grass minimum temperature was below zero centigrade.
At different times a few fresh fish were seen, risen or lost, but the only other two actually caught were those of Werner Zirngibl (7.75lbs, Kings Pool) and Armin Helbrecht (7.5lbs, Finlough).
There is no rain of consequence in the current forecast. Until it comes, catches – and effort – are likely to remain depressed.
