As with many fisheries around the country, high water and difficult fishing conditions have also hampered angling on the Kells Blackwater recently. However, every cloud has a silver lining and Pat McLoughlin reports that Jonathan O’Brien caught and released a nice salmon recently on the Kells Blackwater. The water was really way too high but Pat who knows the river like the back of his hand, thought that one or two fish would stop for a little rest before moving on. And guess what, he was right!! Jonathan guided by Pat caught and released a nice fish during his visit. The last time Jonathan was down with Pat he had 5 for his day, but Pat commented on this occasion “we were lucky to get this one in such conditions”. A little bit more than luck Pat!!!
