Jason Nash from the Bandon Angling Association reports on the catches and conditions on the River Bandon…

28 August: Another week down and some excellent catches were made, particularly by visitors on day tickets. One gentleman and his friend had 5 fish between them to 17lbs and another visitor, Seamus Pyke, reported excellent sport with 5 fish landed.

Most fish encountered during the week were stale and returned to the river, with shrimp proving to be the most effective method. A few fresh fish up to 12lbs were also caught and seen running (including big MSW fish) so hopefully a more consistent run of autumn salmon is just around the corner. Finally, we would like to remind all BAA members that September is fly and spinner only on club waters.

Eileen Carroll Murphy IFI reports from the River Bandon for the week ended Sunday 28th August 2016:

There was a flood early last week and there was good fishing all along the river as a result. There were between 30 and 40 salmon reported although many of these were coloured There is more rain forecast for the coming weekend and hopefully that will encourage fresh fish into the system.
