Fishery manager Nigel Rush reports that Easter brought a welcome run of salmon into the Dawros River, with the first salmon being caught on Good Friday by Nigel himself, a nice fresh springer of 7lbs 12oz, taken on a Kylemore Killer from Tullywee Bridge Pool. The second fish was not long in coming, with Jeremy Shanahan taking another springer the same day from Lower Eugenes Pool – a nice fish of 7lbs 8oz, again taken on a Kylemore Killer. Since then a third fish has been caught and released – another fresh springer of 8lbs taken by Nigel again from Tullywee Bridge Pool. Nigel reports seeing a good number of fish running the river also, so the spring run appears to be well underway at Kylemore, and hopefully we will see a few more reports of fish from here soon. To book fishing, contact Nigel at 087 9580702 for availability and permits. For those not in the know, the Dawros is a delightful little river through amazingly beautiful countryside, good access and easy fishing with a single hand rod. I highly recommend a visit, especially when fish are running.
