At Gannons’ Fishery, it was the prawn which provided sport for Trevor Stewart, N.Ireland, who had one of 7lbs with John Marshall Jr. also landing one of 11lbs to the prawn.

The Foxford Salmon Anglers’ water yielded over five salmon for the week, with Cloongee producing just one. However, it was the East Mayo Anglers’ water which produced the best fishing, with nineteen salmon reported for the week. Both visiting and local anglers enjoyed the sport at East Mayo, with Patrick Cadiergues, France, landing one of 6.5lbs to a spinner, Thomas Wiss, Germany, had one of 6 lb. to the fly, with Laurent Ping-Canton, France landing a fine 10 lb, salmon to a spinner. Garet Riugrok, Dublin, caught one of 7 lb. on worm with John Binns, Foxford, Tom Kavanagh, Castlebar, and Michael Pallister, Knock, all landing salmon of 10 lb. to the worm.
