Salmon have been stirring down south as we have a report in of the first salmon to be caught on the River Lee in 2021. The lucky angler was Paul O’Leary and he caught the fish on a Flying C on the 11th March just downstream of the dam. He estimated the weight at around 8lb and the fish was safely returned to the water.

We also have another report of a salmon from the Lee caught last Sunday. This one weighed in at 13lb and was caught on a red Flying C with a single barbless hook. It too was returned safely to the water.
