Thomas Coyle was in touch to report a lovely trout he caught off the Blackwater at the weekend.
Despite the high water the Blackwater in Mallow offered some decent fishing. Thomas was fishing the shallower water where the current was slower and the visibility a little better.
Opting for a silver spinner he eventually struck buttery gold. The trout put up an epic fight which fought so hard he though he was playing a salmon. After an epic battle the fish was safely landed, the moment captured on camera and then carefully released back into the river.
