Markus Muller, IFI Ballina reports that the dry and extremely sunny weather impacted heavily on angling during the past week. As a consequence, angling effort had been exceptionally low with only a few fish being caught.

However, East Mayo Anglers water still produced a few fine spring salmon including a ten pounder on fly for Michael Griffith, Northern Ireland, and a 9.5 lbs. fish for Michael O’Keane., also Northern Ireland.
