In addition to the first salmon off the Ridge Pool today, Billy Thornton reports that last week was the best week of season so far on the Moy.
Milder weather and dropping water levels saw a lot more anglers out on the river last week. 70+ salmon were reported caught throughout the system with all methods working.
Some of the lucky anglers were John Fitzpatrick – 7lbs on Ballina Salmon Anglers club water, Shane Maloney – 8.5lbs on Mount Falcon, Kevin Hennigan – 7lbs on Attymass Anglers, Fearghal Reape – 12.5lbs & 15lbs on Knockmore Anglers, John Moore NI. – 12lbs on Armstrong’s Fishery, David Bradley – 12.5lbs on Foxford Fishery, Thierry Coulm France – 15lbs on Cloongee Fishery and Reto Coutalides Switzerland – 7lbs & 7.5lbs on East Mayo anglers water.
With water levels continuing to drop and a reasonable weather forecast, prospects are good for the week ahead.
