Billy Thornton reports from Ballina on fishing on the Moy System to 13th May 2018…
The Moy continued to fish well over the past week with 115 salmon reported caught. Heavy rain towards the end of the week resulted in a slight rise in water levels but it ran through very quickly. As with the previous week the majority of fish were caught upstream and just downstream of Foxford.
Among the lucky anglers were Michael Clarke Athlone 11 lbs on worm – Armstrongs fishery, Jim Bradley Dublin [Photo] 12.5 lbs on worm –Foxford Fishery, Jean Ryder Foxford [Photo] 8 lbs – Foxford Salmon Anglers, Paddy McDonnell Swinford 7+8 lbs released on fly and Freddie Duncalf Wales 9 lbs on fly – East Mayo Anglers water.
With water levels continuing to drop and good weather forecast prospects are good for the week.
