Yet another salmon angling season has drawn to a close on the River Moy and although final figures are yet to be confirmed, the reported catch for the system to date is well over 7000 salmon for the season. The Moy produced over 300 for the final eight days of the season (including Monday 30th), with catches reported from almost all fisheries on the river. The Moy Fishery had just two for the final week, one from the Ridge and one from the Freshwater beat, with the Ballina Salmon Anglers’ water reporting 42, 19 of those released. MountFalcon also had good sport over the final week, with 58 salmon recorded, 55 of those released. The Knockmore waters also had just over 50 salmon, with the other mid-river fisheries also reporting reasonable catches for so late in the season.
At Foxford, the Foxford Fishery had 9 and anglers enjoyed good sport at Rinanney where 38 were recorded. There were 10 caught at Cloongee, 6 of those released, and at East Mayo, 25 of the 37 salmon caught were released.
Anglers are reminded that they are required by law to return all completed Anglers’ Log Books (even where there is no catch recorded), as well as any unused tags to Inland Fisheries Ireland before the 19th October 2013, using the business reply envelope issues with the Anglers’ Log Book.
