On the River Easkey Angling Association water anglers enjoyed good fishing during the past week. The heavy rains of late kept water levels up and provided good conditions on this west Sligo spate river.
Most fish ranged between 4 and 7 lbs but some bigger fish into double figures were caught as well.
Amongst the successful anglers was Aaron Spence from Northern Ireland who was fishing together with his father Andy. Aaron caught is first ever salmon which he sportingly released. Not to be outdone, Aaron’s father Andy also caught a fine grilse and lost a much larger fish later in the day.
