With approximately 100 salmon reported, the River Moy had its best week of the season, so far.
On Coolcronan, Garry Keavaney had a 9 lbs. fish on prawn, while Padraig O’Boyle landed a ten pounder spinning on Gannon’s. The Foxford Fishery recorded its first salmon of the season. Dr. Richard Wallace from the UK was the lucky angler who caught the 5 lbs. fish on a worm.
Anglers who fished around Foxford and on the Cloongee Fishery also did well. Thierry Libs from Brittany, Geoffrey Wiles & Paul Gough, UK, all had fish between 6 lbs. and 9.5 lbs. spinning. Thierry Libs also scored on the outflow of Lough Cullin where he had a fine 4 lbs. brown trout on bubble & fly.
For many anglers the East Mayo Anglers water proved to be productive. French visitor, Pascal Waldner, landed a fine 14 lbs. springer while spinning. However, flyanglers Thomas Merkel, Germany, and Russ Owens, Wales, also scored on East Mayo with fish of 11 lbs. and 10 lbs. respectively.
