Nigel Rush reports that the Kylemore Abbey Fishery produced the goods yet again last week…
Week ending 14 September has proved as ever fruitful with 13 rod days producing seventeen salmon for the week.
The earlier part of the week and weekend proved to be the best with the weather mid week presenting us with swarms of un seasonal biting midges.
The storm that was forecast for the weekend arrived with a vengeance and the river rose by a foot and a half to once again give us fishable water.
The usual suspects were this week’s culprits, with Geoffrey Fitzjohn five fish to 5lb for two days angling, Seamus O’Neil six to 7.5lb for three half days angling and Neil Spellacy three fish for one and a half days to 6lb. Andy Duncans visiting from the UK landed two fish for his one day’s visit.
To date we have now 214 salmon landed for the season and with just two weeks left, hopefully an improvement on this figure.

Hidden away between the mountains of Connemara and the Atlantic ocean, the Kylemore Abbey fishery is a wild and beautiful place. Kylemore Abbey Fishery consists of the Kylemore Middle and Castle lakes, with five and a half miles of the Dawros river which enters the sea in Ballynakill bay. Salmon and sea-trout run for a good proportion of the year to provide first class fishing on uncrowded waters.
The open panoramas of the lakes contrast with the intimacy of the river to give a variety of fishing combined with stunning scenery unrivalled anywhere in Ireland. Although offering an excellent chance of a fish for most of the season, you will find the real meaning of “a fish is a bonus” at Kylemore.
