Angling effort is well down on the Moy now, compared to this time last year and only in the region of 100 salmon were reported for week-ending 04 September.
Only 4 salmon were caught in the Ballina Fishery. Bernard Breslin had one fish of 5.5lb on worm on the Rdige Pool while Pat Kane, Donegal, had 3 salmon on spinner, 2 of which he released. The middel reaches fished a little better, particularly around Foxford and some fisheries, like Mount Falcon, Knockmore and Rinanney had catches into the mid to high teens.
The East Mayo Anglers reported 12 salmon caught, 5 of which were released. Reg Bishop and Celia Fry, UK.both had fish in the 3lb bracket on worm.
With more heavy forecast for the weekend its not likely fishing will be much better next week.
