From the banks of the River Feale, Paay Halpin, IFI Limerick, tells us they have 7 salmon that were reported caught on the Feale in the past week.
Rory Murry from Killorglin a fresh 12lbs salmon on the fly while using a single handed rod and had great sport with it. Tom O Donnell had a fresh fish of 6lbs on the fly as did Pat O Callaghan who had a fish of 9lbs on the fly as well.
Other lucky anglers for the week were Maurice McElligott who had a 11lb fish on the fly, Paul Lonergan had a fish of 6lbs while spinning, Con McCarthy had a fish of 9lbs while spinning as did his fishing buddy Tom White he also had a fish of 9lbs while spinning.
Water levels are again gone low after the small flood we had on Wednesday and is likely to stay that way over the weekend.
Go fishing…
The River Feale is among the outstanding salmon and sea trout rivers of Ireland. The River rises in the mountain district of North Co Cork and flows westerly for 75 km (46 miles) through the county towns of Abbeyfeale and Listowel and enters the sea south of Ballybunion. For the final 10 kms (6 miles) of its course, it is known as the Cashen River. Throughout its meandering journey to the sea it flows through a picturesque landscape of heather bog land, fertile valleys and rolling hills. Its main tributaries, flowing from both North and South, combine to add in excess of 160 kms (100 miles) of fishable waters.
About 50% of the main River Feale and the Smearlagh River is controlled by 5 angling clubs. These clubs are some of the best angling waters and each club offers day tickets for visiting anglers.
