Despite dropping water levels and reduced angling effort on all fisheries during the week the River Moy still returned a reported catch of 256 salmon. However, fisheries in the lower part of the river saw better results, while angling on the middle and upper sections was rather slow.
The Moy Fishery produced a total of 34 salmon including a nice fly caught grilse (released) from the Ridge Pool for Mark Bowler, editor of Flyfishing & Flytying magazine. Amongst those who had success on the Cathedral Beat were Nigel Cox, UK, who had two grilse to the fly, and Frank O’Hara, who also had two to the fly, one of which he released.
Mount Falcon also enjoyed some good fishing as did the Foxford Fishery where Jean Marie Bleaut, France, had 7 salmon for 3 days. On Coolcronan, German angler, Yannick Kessel landed three on spinner, while the East Mayo Anglers water produced a fine 7 pounder for Billy McGhee and a 5 lbs. fish for Peter Kelly, both on fly.
