After the first fish of the season was caught on St. Patrick’s Day, angling on the River Moy system picked up further during the past week with more fish being reported.

On the Ballina Salmon Anglers’ water, James Cash, Dublin had a 7 lbs. salmon on worm, while James Francis, Athlone, landed a 6+ lbs. fish on the Foxford Salmon Anglers’ water.

On East Mayo, Ian Guegan caught & released an 8 lbs. salmon on a Flying C. This was the first fish of the season for this section of the river.

With water levels dropping further, prospects for the coming weeks look good and it is hoped that more spring fish will be reported in the coming days.
