A late report, as I missed the communique from fishery manager Nigel Rush while I was away at the London Fly Fishing Show. Sorry Nigel!
Nigel reports that the 24th was a nice mild day with good water, and two salmon were taken at Tullywee Bridge Pool on the Upper Dawros.
The first fish was landed by Ronnie Counihan, a lovely springer of 7.25lbs, while regular visitor Seamus O’Neil landed the second, a sparkling fresh fish of 7.5lbs
Since then low water and cold temperatures have been a feature, but with a rise in water levels today Nigel is optimistic for the next few days.

Hidden away between the mountains of Connemara and the Atlantic ocean, the Kylemore Abbey fishery is a wild and beautiful place. Kylemore Abbey Fishery consists of the Kylemore Middle and Castle lakes, as well as part of the Upper Lough, with the five and a half kilometres of the Dawros river which enters the sea in Ballynakill bay. Salmon and sea-trout run for a good proportion of the year to provide first class fishing on uncrowded waters.
The open panoramas of the lakes contrast with the intimacy of the river to give a variety of fishing combined with stunning scenery unrivalled anywhere in Ireland. Although offering an excellent chance of a fish for most of the season, you will find the real meaning of “a fish is a bonus” at Kylemore.
