Nigel Rush reports today that the following Thursday’s rain the river had cleared enough by Friday afternoon to at last allow for some productive angling at Kylemore which had been plagued by drought-like conditions in recent weeks…
One salmon was landed on Friday evening at 4lb. On Saturday a further 5 fresh fish were landed. Geoffrey Fitzjohn landed two fish to 3lb, Brian Davy one of 2.75lb, Ger Henehan one for 2lb (badly net marked) and Seamus O’Neil a record breaking 1lb grilse. Hopefully things will improve with regard to the size of fish!

Hidden away between the mountains of Connemara and the Atlantic ocean, the Kylemore Abbey fishery is a wild and beautiful place. Kylemore Abbey Fishery consists of the Kylemore Middle and Castle lakes, with five and a half miles of the Dawros river which enters the sea in Ballynakill bay. Salmon and sea-trout run for a good proportion of the year to provide first class fishing on uncrowded waters.
The open panoramas of the lakes contrast with the intimacy of the river to give a variety of fishing combined with stunning scenery unrivalled anywhere in Ireland. Although offering an excellent chance of a fish for most of the season, you will find the real meaning of “a fish is a bonus” at Kylemore.
