31/05/2013: Regular sea angler Stephen Colgan decided to try his luck in fresh water on the Enniscorthy local Anglers stretch below the old bridge last week and was rewarded with this fish straight off the tide. Since then there has been a steady trickle of fish through the stretch with further good catches in the last few days.
01/06/2013: The Enniscorthy stretch continues to perform well with several fish caught during the week including this one caught by Tony Smith. The fish, caught on a home tied cascade, was Tony’s first salmon. While the low water has slowed things down, there is clearly still a run of fresh fish coming into the river The really exciting thing is the quality of the fish this season. One angler fishing further upstream made 2 evening visits to the river during the week and was rewarded a sealiced 16 lber on Wednesday followed by a 13lber on Saturday both on a small yellow shrimp on a floating line.
