Lindsey Clarke reports  from LOUGH MELVIN – Monday 12th  to Sunday 18th Sept 2016.

Lough Melvin was quiet on the salmon angling front with few rods targeting the same but continued to fish well for trout again this week. Mainly Sonaghan over the deep water drifts. On Sunday the O’Doherty Cup competition was held and fished out of Garrison. The attendance was down somewhat due to its cancellation last Sunday but the day went well with most boats recording decent catches. The winners were Irvan Marchall and Gordon Law. In 2nd place were local father and son team, Sean and Darren Maguire. In third place were Jackie Mahon and Mark Devan. The heaviest fish award went to Gene Harron. All funds raised are given to a charity yet to be decided.

Fine looking pike weighing in at 23lbs 7ozs for Aidan Traynor
Fine looking pike weighing in at 23lbs 7ozs for Aidan Traynor

Aidan Traynor had a right battle on his hands yesterday when a cracking pike tested his skills against him in a great battle.  Experience won out and Aidan landed this super 23lb 7oz pike even after she broke his landing net!

A great catch and well worth the trip to Lough Corrib for Aidan, who was wrapped up warm in his floatation suit.

Markus Müller, Angling Information Manager with IFI Ballina office reports from the River Moy:

Yet, another slow week for anglers on the Moy system, with only 130 salmon reported bringing the yearly total, so far, to 5,619.

Some of this week’s catches included two salmon for German visitor, Manfred Müller on prawn from the Coolcronan Fishery. Also on Coolcronan, Manfred’s countryman, Dominik Weber, had two fish; one on prawn and one on spinner. Despite the difficult conditions the East mayo water provided some reasonable fly fishing during the week. Successful anglers included: Alain Bouvet, France, with a 6 lbs. fish, Matthias Engels, Germany with two small grilse and Ralf Hemmersbach, also Germany, with a 3 lbs. and a 6 lbs. grilse.
