Angler Jason Nash of www.savagefishingblogspot.ie captures the spawning beds on the river Bandon:
Last Friday I spotted the first 2 salmon redds on the main river, no doubt spurred on by the frosty conditions. Thankfully these are a little easier to spot than the trout redds!
Another resident of the Bandon is the little egret, whose numbers have exploded in recent years along our rivers and coast lines.
As a parting note, we have had some great news on the salmon farming front in Ireland. The European Commission is to re-open its investigation into the negative effects of salmon farming on wild salmon. To read more on the issue, click here. News on this subject had been scarce for a while, so this is a very welcome advancement in the right direction.
Compliments of:
Jason Nash
