Paddy Halpin reports on salmon fishnig on the Feale, which picked up over the last week.

We had 8 salmon reported caught for the week on the Feale, with the best going to Tim Martin Murphy, who had a good fish of 12.5lbs on the spinner. Robert Devitt had a nice fish of 10lbs on the fly from the North Kerry Anglers waters. Steven Moroney had a nice fish of 9lbs, also on spinner, Aidan Moran from Laois landed his first of the season, a fish of 8lbs, and Tom Sparling landed his first fish on worm, from the Killocrim/Finuge waters.

Water levels at the moment are dropping nicely for the fly, but it is still very cold and with rain and milder temperatures forecast fishing should be good again for the weekend.
