| How's that for a First Ever Salmon! Clive Gronow from Wales had never been fishing before. His first experience was a guided day with Glenda with 3 friends on Friday. Yesterday, under Glenda's watchful eye he caught a magnificent sea-liced 13.1 pounder on worms on the Island Stream on Beat 5 - Lower Kilmurry. As we say - it's all downhill from here! |
Garry O'Shea from Dungarvan went to Beat 10 (Ballincurrig) He lost a fish of ~7-8lb |
Prospects for the coming week.
The forecast is mainly dry for the coming week, and the river is fining off well after the (last small) flood.
The water clarity throughout the beats is about 4 feet today.
Fish - both good quality grilse (4-6lb.) and large salmon are moving through both the lower and upper beats.
We have caught 41 so far for May and 53 for the season in total.
By 10.00am this morning I already had a report of a 6 pounder on fly from the upper river.
