Reports just in from the Bandon River in Cork make for great reading. David Ford had a superb 21lb fish today and other anglers have also met some fine spring fish, with some good fish landed and others lost.
The river is looking great and day tickets are available.
David’s 21lb salmon was caught using a sink tip line and an inch copper tube fly. The fish was caught on 20th April at 12:30. The fish put up a great fight and was fresh in off the tide and was covered in sea lice. David says he never hooked a fish that ran so hard and the salmon even went under the bridge! There were a fair few fish caught on the same river that weekend, with Dave McCann catching a 13lb fish high up on the river. The majority of the fish caught on the river were caught using a fly.
