River Moy
The Moy had its best week of the season, so far, with a reported catch of 175 salmon. The best fishing was on the middle and upper reaches of the river and due to high water levels worm and spinner accounted for most of the fish caught.
On Armstrong’s, Giles Bodinier, France, had two salmon weighing 9 lb. each on spinner. Jürgen Gasser from Switzerland landed an elven pounder on Gannon’s (on spinner), while Jimmy Browne, Northern Ireland, was successful on the Foxford Fishery with a 6.5 lb. fish on worm. On Rinnaney, Mick Condon, Westmeath, had a cracking 15 lb. springer on worm.
Further upriver on East Mayo, anglers enjoyed great sport with a good number of double figure fish being caught. Successful anglers included French visitors, Pascal Nicolas and Piere Verschere, with salmon of 12 lb. and 11 lb. (both on spinner). Ian Carroll from Cork had a 13 pounder (on spinner), while UK anglers, John Butcher and Peter Martin, landed fish of 13 lb. and 15 lb. respectively. Aiden Connelly also had a magnificent double figure springer (pictured below). Most fish were caught on worm.
