83 rivers open for Salmon Angling in 2021

December 30, 2020

Minister Ryan emphasises conservation imperative is key to positive trends in the face of environmental, climate and human impacts

Eamon Ryan TD, Minister with responsibility for the Inland Fisheries sector, has approved legislation that will govern the wild salmon and sea trout fisheries in 2021. These will come into effect from Friday 1 January 2021.

Minister Ryan said:

“We are opening 83 rivers for salmon and sea trout fishing in 2021. This will allow careful management of this important natural resource, for which conservation will be to the fore. In a positive trend, 49 of the rivers will be fully open, an increase of 20% on 2020, with a further 34 available on a ‘catch and release’ basis. Continued movement in a positive direction is only possible over time and is entirely dependent on everybody redoubling our conservation efforts in the face of environmental, climate and human impacts.”

To inform the legislation for 2021, Minister Ryan received management advice from Inland Fisheries Ireland in relation to over 140 genetically individual wild salmon stocks in Ireland, which in turn was considered in the light of individual scientific assessments. The assessments were carried out by the Technical Expert Group on Salmon (TEGOS) an all-island independent scientific group comprising experts from a range of bodies.

This advice was also made available as part of a statutory public consultation process during which 33 written submissions from stakeholders were received.

Management advice based on the TEGOS assessment of rivers/estuaries/harbours is that:

49 rivers to be open as a surplus of fish has been identified in these rivers
34 rivers to be classified as open for ‘catch and release’ angling
64 rivers to be closed as they have no surplus of fish available

Minister Ryan said:

“Ireland is internationally recognised for prioritising the conservation imperative as fundamental to our salmon management efforts and our contribution to the continuing global initiative that is the International Year of the Salmon 2020 has been second to none. Environmental and climate change and human impacts continue to place salmon and other species at risk. I am determined that the innovations of International Year of the Salmon, which continue to bring people together to share knowledge and raise awareness, will endure. This is key to ensuring the resilience of salmon in Ireland and in the entire North Atlantic.”

Marcin’s mighty mouse lure tempts big pike from small river

21lb 110cm pike for Marcin Kantor — 21lb, 110cm pike for Marcin Kantor

Marcin’s notes: Pike fishing Ireland is one of my favourite types of fishing during the cold winter months. This was my pike fishing season 20/21 kick-off session.

As the day was unseasonably warm I decided to fish actively – lures fishing and fly fishing for pike in search of some big fish. This type of angling is my favourite fishing style – big pike fishing with lures.

One thing I am trying to show in the video is that you need to keep trying, changing fishing spots, and altering your fishing methods. The day has started very slow and until about lunchtime, I had absolutely nothing to show for my efforts. Not even a single take from a pike, neither on lures nor on the fly. I change the plan I made in the morning and kept searching for some feeding fish.

I had the new (to me) Miuras Mouse lure from Strike Pro, and let me tell you, when I found some feeding fish, and started fishing using the Miuras Mouse I managed to find some pike, including an absolute beast of a wild, river pike, measuring 110cm and weighing over 20lbs. The colour of Miuras Mouse – Spotted Bullhead.

So keep casting, keep changing your fishing methods, until you catch big fish 🙂

Last week (before lock down) Southern County Fishery played host to a few Dublin Trout Anglers…

Southern County Fishery was the venue for a small group of Dublin Trout Anglers on 20 December. While setting up the rods for the day ahead all the talk was about The Dubs and six in a row but that all changed when the rainbows came out to play.

“I’m in!”, one said. “So am I!”, another said. Two beautiful rainbows to get the day going . A great day’s fishing was had by all with fish up to seven pounds being caught on mostly lures.

Southern County is a fantastic Fishery and well worth a visit. Thank you to Pat and all the staff at the Fishery who made us feel very welcome.

Irish Angling Update – 22 December 2020

December 22, 2020

Just a quick note to to all our readers to wish you all a very Happy Christmas where ever you are in the world.

Thanks to you all for tuning in. And a special thanks to those who shared their angling news and updates with us all this year.

It was great to hear your stories at at time when it was the only fishing many of us had to look forward to.

We look forward to sharing more of your angling reports again in 2021.

And now the weather…

It’s been wet enough for the last few days, wet today and it will be wet to start tomorrow. But the boffins in Met Eireann tell us it will be mostly dry up to and including Christmas Day, then very unsettled on St. Stephen’s Day. Turning colder with wintry showers on Sunday. So no chance of a white Christmas, but at least you’ll be able to get out and about with the angling treats that you’ll find under the tree this year.

Have a peaceful and merry Christmas. Stay safe and stay blessed.

Safe fishing to all and tight lines, especially here in Ireland.

Irish Angling Update – Dec 18 2020

Shane O'Reilly

December 18, 2020

It’s been changeable week weather-wise with temperatures a couple of degrees higher than average. But alongside that milder weather, we had some pretty strong winds and a lot of rain in places, with the south of the country getting the worst of it with twice the normal values for this time of year. As travel restrictions still applied, angling news was again limited this week, but some anglers still made it onto the water while others continue to keep us entertained with tips and tricks posted on their various social media platforms.

We have only one charter report in this week, coming from Donegal where the Fiona Tee managed to get a day on the water. Surprisingly mackeral were still pretty plentiful and there were also some herring about, and this led to some cod being landed, but the larger pollack were more difficult to tempt.

Meanwhile, back on dry land, pike anglers John Higgins and Bud Mander spent a day or two on a small lake in Westmeath. They kept their sessions short starting at midday and wrapping up at 4, but their tactics seemed to work, and they were rewarded with a couple of decent pike.

We got a message in this week from Sharphooks, an angling club founded by a group of passionate Lithuanian anglers. They are mainly predator anglers who practise strict catch and release and run an event called the Favourite Perch Challenge. They are open for new members to join for anyone who is looking for a predator club to become involved in.

For those of us who can’t make it out on the water due to travel restrictions, we have been lucky to have a plethora of interesting posts on various social media channels to keep us going through the lockdown. This week’s offerings are centred around Peter Driver of Piscari Fly, the well-known angler and fly tyer. First, we have an interview with Peter on the popular Youtube channel Gundog & Fly, where Peter gives a range of tips and tricks on angling and fly tying. Secondly, Peter has been running a series of live fly tying demonstrations on his Facebook page. His first session is on the Dry Fly while his second one focusses on Nymphing.

Over the past year or so, some of you sea anglers may have encountered IFI staff running a survey on various aspects of sea angling as part of the Irish Marine Recreational Angling Survey (IMREC) programme. Others may have participated in an online version of the survey, and we now have some preliminary findings from the data collected in that online survey. In total, 1230 sea anglers participated in the survey and the data sheds some light on questions such as why we fish, where we fish and what species we fish for.

For those of us looking forward the next year already, we would like to remind anglers that the IFI permit shop is open for selling permits for fishing next season, and that gift cards are also available. Permits for rivers include Clare River, Lackacgh, Clady, Crolly, Eany, Eske, Gweebarra, Owenea as well as Laune and Kerry Blackwater. Permits also available for IFI’s South West stocked lakes, Midland Fisheries Group and Inniscarra and Carigadrohid reservoirs.

As per last week if you’re stuck for ideas but don’t want to let an angler down this Christmas don’t forget to look at our featured stocking fillers pages with plenty of gift ideas from Irish tackle dealers and angling service providers.

From today we are entering a period where travel between counties is allowed. While many of you may take advantage of this to dust off the cobwebs and spend some time on the water, we would urge you to follow government advice and make every effort to prevent further spread of Covid 19 over the Christmas period.

And now the weather…

This evening and tonight, bands of showers will spread eastwards across the country, some heavy with hail possible. Clear spells also. Lowest temperatures of 4 to 7 degrees with fresh, south to southwest winds.

Saturday will be cool and breezy with sunshine and widespread showers, many of them heavy or prolonged and some of hail. Highest temperatures of 8 to 10 degrees with fresh, gusty southwest winds.

Sunday will be cool and bright with sunny spells and scattered showers, some heavy or of hail.

The weather for the coming week will continue to be mixed with some dry spells interspersed with showers of rain, hail and sleet.

Safe fishing to all this weekend and tight lines, especially here in Ireland.

IMREC Sea Angling Online Survey – Initial Findings

Paul O'Reilly

December 18, 2020

Over recent years, there has been a greater effort by fisheries managers throughout Europe to learn more about the sea angling resource across EU member states. For this reason, Inland Fisheries Ireland established the Irish Marine Recreational Angling Survey (IMREC) in 2020 to collect information on fishing effort and catches in Irish waters.

It is hoped that the information gathered by the IMREC will help all stakeholders to better manage, conserve and protect the fisheries resource, thereby providing benefits for recreational sea angling in Ireland and supporting those small businesses involved in the sea angling sector.

With this in mind, back in June we asked Irish sea anglers to take part in the Irish Marine Recreational Fishing Online Survey and we had an unprecedented response, with over 1,230 completed survey forms. A teaser on some of the initial findings of the online survey can be found by clicking here or on the image below – and thanks to all those sea anglers who completed a survey form for us. Full analysis of the data collected will be conducted when the full survey programme has been completed.

In parallel, under the IMREC programme, a small team of Inland Fisheries Ireland research staff continue to carry out on-site surveys of any anglers they encounter at angling locations around the coastline. If, while fishing anywhere around the coast, you are approached by a member of our staff with a questionnaire, please take a few minutes to provide your own responses which will feed into the bigger picture on Irish sea angling.

Codling, pollack, mackerel and herring for Fiona T in Killybegs

December 17, 2020

There’s not been much to report from the charter boats recently so it was good see this report from Fiona T in Donegal…

12 December: Back fishing today, plenty of mackerel and herring in the morning and then moved deeper for some big fish but am afraid no good size pollock going.

There was a good few small ones and we also managed a few good cod.

Nice to see the mackerel are still about and plenty of herring as well.
