As part of the Ballina Salmon Festival which just finished on Sunday the Mayo Shore Angling Club in conjunction with the Festival put up two trophies, one for the best Irish angler and one for the best UK/European angler fishing the Moy Fishery beats on Heritage Day, 13 July.
Ireland prevailed on the day and Northern Irish angler Raymond Steward, a veteran angler with 25 years of fishing the Moy under his belt, had 2 salmon (Ridge Pool). Best of the European anglers was Roland Capoullez, equally experienced and also having 25 years of fishing in Ballina to his credit, who had one salmon.
