Philip Maher of Fishhunt had been keeping his eye in catching big trout on the Suir over the last couple of weeks but it was always the tug of a big salmon that he was waiting for.

Finally late last week and over the weekend saw the big fish turn on. Anglers fishing with Philip landed a good number of salmon between 13 and 22 lb,  and photos of a selection of these fish can be seen below. Many coloured fish were caught (and safely released) but a few silvery fish were also landed, so there is still some hope of meeting a fresh fish before the end of the season.
