Donal Kennedy, skipper of the Leah, reported good flyfishing from Killala Bay.

Dutch angling journalist, Rudy van Duijnhoven and Mario Sanz, Germany, who both have specialised in saltwater flyfishing enjoyed very good fishing despite the blustery and squally conditions.

Originally, they had planned to venture out to tempt a blue shark to the fly but had to stay inshore due to high winds and rough seas. However, the pair landed a total of 5 different species on the fly, including, mackerel, pollack, coalfish, wrasse and mullet. This shows the great potential for saltwater flyfishing in Killala Bay!
