Fishing picked up on Tuesday 22nd May and what better place to go but down to The Blackwater lodge Salmon Fishery. Glenda and Ian Powell tells us Benoit Perros from Britanny, France (below) caught his First Ever Salmon with this superb 9 pounder which was sealiced. He caught it on spinner at the Lug Pool on Lower Kilmurry.
The aptly named Paul Pecheur from Belgium also had a fish on Tuesday. He caught it on fly on Ballincurrig on the upper river.
There has been a noticeable increase in the water temperature in the last couple of days which may well be the cause of the fish starting to take more freely once more.
