Glenda Powell Guiding & Blackwater Salmon Fishery - Part 2 The Promise Of Spring
Fly Fishing Shows & Fairs
Current Weather/River Conditions Spring has come suddenly, bringing the sunshine and the rain. The sweet yellow daffodils remind us of joy. The shackles of winter have been broken. With this comes freedom to get out, to cast a fly, and breath the crisp fresh air. The promise of Spring is here. The weather in Ireland has been very wet and windy for the past two weeks. The River Blackwater has been unfishable this week, and the river is still very high at the moment with the gauge at Ballyduff Bridge reading 1.88m but dropping. The weather forecast for the coming week is mixed and changeable with rain at times, but drier and brighter interludes also. Continuing relatively mild, with a risk of windy weather also. Congratulations to Noel Fitzmaurice who caught our first fish in February. Noel caught and released this beautiful, sea-liced fish on the fly in high water. The Skagit Course on 4th February was a great success. We have cleared some of the bramble bushes on the banks to make fishing the fly from the bank easier in high water. The Beginners Spey Casting Course on 25th March is full, as is the Improvers Spey Casting course on the 8th April. I have two remaining places on the Low Water Salmon Fishing course on Saturday 27th May. This course is not suitable for beginners. This course will focus on techniques for low water such as; stripping micro trebles and large flies, nymphing for salmon and furrowing flies. Cost is €150 including fishing and lunch. Maximum 6 participants and please contact me if you are interested in this course. I am available for individual or group lessons/guiding at all other times. Today while driving along the flooded valley near Lismore, we noticed a magpie flying with a stick so long that it looked like she should have been in a circus, balancing herself on a tight rope. The sun was shining and we laughed. ''It was such a Spring day as breathes into a man an ineffable yearning, a painful sweetness, a longing that makes him stand motionless, looking at the leaves or grass, and fling out his arms to embrace he knows not what.'' Words by John Galsworthy. We look forward to seeing you soon.
