Jason Nash from the Bandon Angling Association reports…
28/02 The Bandon really is capable if throwing up some amazing fish on an annual basis, be it specimen sized salmon or trout. Check out this fantastic trout caught by club member Dariusz Kaminski, which measured 67cm. Taking condition into consideration, this length would equate to a weight of around 7lb, making it a specimen sized trout for a river. The fish was caught on lure while fishing for salmon and was released again as is the club rule for any trout caught on any method besides fly. Well done Dariusz, that is the fish of a life time!!
Conditions at present are perfect for salmon fishing with fly or spinner. As of yet, there has been no reports of any springers caught.
WaterLevel: 0.6m Curranure

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.
