Fisheries Information Manager Markus Müller reports from the Moy – w/e 13th July 2014
Low water levels impacted on angling mainly on the upper Moy beats, while the lower and middle sections saw a slight increase in catch numbers as fresh fish were moving up through the system.
On the Moy Fishery, a total of 53 salmon were caught. Amongst the successful anglers were Walter Norton, UK, with 4 grilse on fly up to 5 lbs. (three from the Ridge Pool & one from the Cathedral Beat) and Cian Gargan, Galway, who had three grilse on the Ridge Pool, also on fly.
Visiting Dutch angler, Mark Geesink, had three grilse on worm on the Mount Falcon water, while Hugh Marshall, Northern Ireland, had one on prawn on Coolcronan. Armstrong’s, Gannon’s and the Foxford Fishery all produced decent numbers of fish. Anglers on Rinanney and the Foxford Salmon Anglers’ water were also successful including Claude Raine, France, who landed a seven pounder on prawn.
Further upriver, Jean Jacques Daurat, France, had a fine 12 lb. salmon (spinning) on Cloongee, while Steve Thompson, UK, was successful on the East Mayo Association water landing 3 grilse on worm averaging 4 lbs.
