Water levels on the River Moy have dropped further during the week. Angling conditions in the upper and middle sections of the river remained favourable with a number of nice spring salmon caught.
The Ballina Salmon Anglers’ stretch also enjoyed reasonable fishing with Mark Beattie landing an elven pounder on worm. Newly appointed Coolcronan Fishery Manager, Garry Keaveney, had the first salmon of the season on the Coolcronan water. Garry’s fish weighed 7 lbs. and took a worm.
Further upriver fishing the Foxford area, Vincent Duigan caught a 10 lbs. fish also on worm, while East Mayo produced a number of good springers as well. Amongst the successful anglers were Reto Coutalides, Switzerland, with a fine 11.5 lbs. fly-caught salmon, Brendan Wilson with an 8.5 lbs fish also on fly and Fabian Hintermeyer, France, with a nine pounder on spinner.
