Permits:
The cost of daily permits is reduced on Laune Anglers waters up to the end of
July also there is a reduced cost for 7 day Permits, see
Permits.
Comments:
The Laune is a
lake-fed river and therefore always fishable to the fly, even in prolonged dry
conditions.
High water levels -- as experienced in the Spring -- favour upriver fisheries,
as salmon tend to run the river on their way to the lakes.
Good water levels – not too high – are welcomed by anglers for the months of
August and September. The Gauge opposite shows the river at Summer Low.
