Fishery manager David McEvoy reports that Delphi got off the mark on Monday 10th, with its first spring salmon of the season.
February salmon are not easy, and angler Ken Wickham has had a few visits over the past 5 years trying for one, but he was the first successful angler in the Delphi Valley this year. Fishing a Black Nymph, he hooked and landed a lovely 7lbs+ springer in the Waterfall Pool. The fish was sparkling fresh, still with sea lice attached, and gave a good acount of itself before being successfully landed. Well done and congratulations to Ken!
David reports lower water this week, but bitterly cold conditions – as he says: it’s not for the faint-hearted! Hopefully milder conditions and a drop of water will bring in some more fresh spring fish, and we look forward to more reports from Delphi soon.
Go fishing…
At Delphi Lodge, with many years of experience with the timing of the best runs of fish, we have in place a price system that offers both great value fishing and lets our anglers know when they have the best chance to catch a fresh run spring salmon or a summer grilse or Delphi sea trout.
