10/10/12 There were a few boats manipulating the their flies, but there was only one angler who reported their catches and releases, and that was Mr. Phil Stanefort, who caught 8 Trout, while fishing with his ghillie Mr. Dominic McGillicuddy and of www.fishingwithdom.com ;it was overcast with rain in the afternoon.

Well its time to close 2012 Salmon and Sea Trout Season, and on a personal note, I would like to thank all the team of the Inland Fisheries and of www.fisheriesireland.ie for their help this season and as they do every season, and last but not least to you, the Anglers for taking your time to read the Waterville Fishery Notes, I hope you enjoyed reading them as much as I did writing them, so on that note I close this 2012 Season and I look forward to seeing you on January 17th 2013. That is your ration for this Season, from your Ghillie/Guide and the Waterville fishery. No Spin No Fly’s just facts.
