I don’t know whether this means we have nearly reached 500 or we have nearly reached the end of the fishing season!! It must be that time of year I’m waffling; better get down to the facts. Saturday 24th it was Doolough that produced the goods with Donal Roche hooking 4 salmon on a Claret Bumble and landing 2. They weighed in at 4lbs and 6lbs respectively. more

Salmon have definately become more active in the last week with some very good catches. Last Saturday we had one fish, landed by Lennart Konvalin on a Cone headed Francis. The fish was taken from Duffers Run of all places and weighed in at 4lbs. more

Since I last updated the blog on Monday we have had 12 fish. Sea trout were relatively quiet this week with condtions being extreme which definately did not help. Monday and Tuesday we landed no salmon, which was due in part to the extreme weather. more

The last three days remind me more of what September’s used to be like, wet and extremely windy. We have had almost 5” of rain since my last blog and 6 salmon. more

Since my last update we have landed 6 salmon. As of yet they havn’t started giving themselves up despite the recent rain. more

August was typically August like for fishing, frustrating, especially in the last 10 to 12 days of the month. There were plenty of salmon to be seen but extremely difficult to catch. Sea trout were disappointing overall but there were a few high points especially towards the latter part of the month. more

We have had no salmon since my last update as they have been totally uncooperative, eventhough the Pettigrew and the Allcutt party have been trying extremely hard. more
