Brid O’Malley reports from Ballynahinch Castle: We are experiencing bumper catches since last weekend, as a result of high water due to the recent rainfall. We have had a total of 30 fish since the weekend!

Nigel McCorkell and Kevin Keaney hooked a total of 6 fish, and managed to land 3 on Saturday last. Dr. John Casey had 2 fish on a Stoats Tail, while Stephen Cullinane also had 2, both on a Cascade. The Badger fly still remains popular; Frank Flaherty had double success with it, as did Nigel McCorkell. There is still a good run of fish coming in. Philip Bellamy landed a lovely 7lbs fresh fish, taken on a Cascade, and another fish, which was coloured. Dr. Toby Strauss returned a 10.5lbs salmon, the biggest of the season so far – who will beat him? You have almost a month to do it and while we are heavily booked, some few spaces remain.
