27 April: Bit by bit the salmon fishing is picking up on the Bandon and the last few days have seen a discernible increase in activity. Regular spring salmon hunter Anthony Buckley has been at it again with a couple more under the belt, both falling to a Flying C. Well done Anthony!

I managed to get off the mark myself also with a beauty of around 10lb. A few more have also been caught and lost throughout the system.

Norman Allott – broke his rod and had to wrestle the fish ashore as he left his net behind. A story he’ll never forget!

29 April: Congratulations to club member Norman Allott on catching this pristine springer!! This is his first ever salmon.

Kilcoleman Fishery, Enniskeane, is renowned for its hospitality. The owners David and Patricia Lamb make a particular effort to make their guests feel at home. Past visitors have described the atmosphere as ‘laid back’ and the accommodations as ‘cosy’. Kilcoleman is “fly only” throughout the entire season. However, in certain water conditions, spinning is permitted for salmon. Trout angling is “fly only” at all times.
