David McEvoy reports on the salmon fishing last week at the Delphi Fishery…
The 1st of May brought renewed hope to Delphi with two lovely sea liced fish landed.
The first was landed by Swiss man Markus Merz who having tried for the last five years thankfully managed to land a beautiful 9lbs8ozs fish off the Grilse pool on a Willie Gunn. It goes without saying that all here were truly delighted that Markus had finally broken his five year blank streak in spring time.
He was joined on the day by a regular German visitor, Yvonne who had a sea liced fish of 10lbs2ozs off Finlough in almost flat calm conditions. This fish was taken on a Norwegian pattern, a Grey Mango.
The river had risen nicely to 35 yesterday morning as we had some rain the previous night, which topped up what fell on
Saturday and Sunday. Besides the two that were caught there were some fresh fish seen on Finlough and I personally saw four good springers entering the system. Hopefully this is the start of a bonanza for the month of May!

Go fishing…
At Delphi Lodge, with many years of experience with the timing of the best runs of fish, we have in place a price system that offers both great value fishing and lets our anglers know when they have the best chance to catch a fresh run spring salmon or a summer grilse or Delphi sea trout.
