Ghillie/Guide Vincent Appleby reports from the Lough Currane system from his blog at http://wwwsalmonandseatroutphotos.blogspot.com/
05/12/2013: In addition to the 13,500 salmon fry released into the upper catchment a further 2,500 have now been fin clipped and successfully released downstream of the hatchery today. We have another 5,000 well grown parr, which will now be released in the New Year! We will be occupied until then catching up salmon for next year’s program! This means that Tom O’Shea, on behalf of Waterville Fisheries Development Group has produced 21,000 fish from the hatchery this year, a massive increase from the same number of broodstock salmon caught up last year! A total of 15 hen fish and 9 cock fish, caught up on the Cummeragh River last December have produced this amazing result.A marvellous effort! Thanks to Tom and all the volunteers and especially to Frank, Jimmy, John and James on the RSS team
Committee Chairman Tadhg O’Sullivan and our Secretary Kevin O’Sullivan attended the Galway Fly Fair encountered a good deal of interest in the work we do here, in particular our Court Action for Judicial revue against the Government’s granting of a new licence to extend the Salmon Farm at Deenish Island. A good number of donations were received this expensive court action and we would ask again here for all the financial help you can give to the Fund.
If you are interested in giving to this fund please visit the Donation page on this site to make your contribution!
