A round up of all the catches from the Munster Blackwater:

BLACKWATER SALMON FISHERY

Glenda Powell from the Blackwater Salmon Fishery has arrived back from fishing at Halkadalsa Iceland.  No sooner back than she reports a first Atlantic salmon caught on the Calvin Shrimp fly for Trond Johnsen on Saturday. Unfortunately on Sunday Trond played and lost one but Yzabel Derbré caught a very unusual large 4lb sea-trout on fly ( and returned) on Kilmurry on the Blackwater.

Blackwater Salmon Fishery
Blackwater Salmon Fishery has 3 beats downstream of the weir and 2 upstream of the weir. Blackwater Salmon Fishery offers fishing on approximately 5 miles of the river Blackwater. The fishing is spread throughout the middle section of the river to offer good sport throughout the fishing season. Due to the location of the beats, fishing can still usually be offered in low or high water.

Ballyduff Bridge Salmon Fishery

Ballyduff Bridge fisheries control a number of beats of the Munster Blackwater. The Ballyduff Bridge beat is almost a mile long offering a huge variety of water and is particularly suited to fly fishing. Upstream near the village of Ballyhooley (a few miles outside the town of Fermoy, Cork) we have two beats. The Ballincurrig Beat is one of the most beautiful locations along the river and has an excellent piece of fly water flowing into a deep pool. Just downstream on the opposite bank we have a short but productive beat, called Magners. This beat fishes also well in high water.
