With evenings beginning to shorten and the water levels on the Bandon failing to impress, Jason Nash of www.savagefishingblogspot.ie shakes off any pessimistic views he might have had and heads out fishing. He tells us ” Its a time for stealth and using light gear if ever there was one and although takes are very few and far between, a trophy fish is still achievable. Last month, Dad released a whopper of a sea trout and this month he landed one of his biggest ever salmon on worm weighing in at an impressive 17lbs.
The fish was just off the tide and covered in long tailed sea lice. With September 30th fast approaching its going to be hard for us to better this poundage! Try as I might, I’ve landed 2 more fish on the worm also, which both went back to continue their trek to the headwaters. Both fish were in the 4-5lb bracket and swam off strongly.”
Jason informs us that sea trout numbers are good this year with darker flies coming into their own now. A flood is needed on the river and it would be a blessing to both fish and angler.
Compliments of:
Jason Nash
