Fisheries Information Manager Markus Müller reports from the Moy – w/e 13th September 2015
Fishing was mixed over the past week, with 130 salmon reported for the Moy system. While water levels continued to drop until the end of the week angling effort was still low. Heavy rain impacted on the upper reaches of the Moy over the weekend. However, it is hoped that fishing will improve in the coming days when water levels should have dropped again.
The only fish on the Moy Fishery was caught on the Ridge Pool by UK angler, Robert Rashley. Robert’s 5 lbs. salmon took a Cascade fished on an intermediate line. UK journalist, Nick Fisher, scored on the Mount Falcon water where he landed two fish: a nice seven pounder on spinner and a 5 lbs. salmon on prawn.
Regular visitor Rene Königs from Germany showed his class and ability to catch fish in difficult conditions on the Coolcronan Fishery where he had five salmon for the week, while Alan Culley, Northern Ireland, had a 6 lbs. fish on Gannon’s on the worm.
Further up-river on East Mayo, Larry Fewer from Cork and John McDonagh from Galway were amongst the few successful anglers. They had fish of 4 lbs. and 7 lbs. respectively, both on spinner.
