Fisheries Information Manager Markus Müller reports from the IFI Ballina office on the Galway Weir:

With 6 gates open water levels are still quite high for the time of year. However, the first fish of season was caught on Tuesday 7th April by Dave Lenihan from Salthill. Dave’s fine fish took a shrimp and weighed 8 lbs.
