Prospects looking good for coming week at Ballisodare

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

Ballisodare

It was yet another good week on the Ballisodare Fishery with 46 salmon caught, many of which were released. Depending on water levels, the worm and the fly still were the most productive methods. Most fish ranged between 6 and 8 lbs. with some nice double figure salmon including a fine 13 pounder for local angler, Dermot Glennon, and a 12 lbs. fish for Vincent Henry. Swiss angler, Jean Loup, had 3 fine fish on the fly for his visit weighing 6, 8 & 9 lbs. Most successful flies for the week included Willie Gunn and Park Shrimp tube fly patterns. With good numbers of fresh fish showing at the Falls, prospects for the coming weeks are very good.
