Plenty salmon running the Ballisodare Fishery

ballisodare

Lately, good numbers of salmon are running the Ballisodare Fishery providing decent fishing for local and visiting anglers alike.

Check out Gerry Merrick’s report below…

The grilse run has been in full force in Ballisodare over the past four weeks with many thousands transcending upstream through the system. On occasions, some rain has fallen but levels have dropped again over a short period of time. Water temperatures have averaged approximately 16 degrees over the past few weeks which tends to result in fish not actively taking fly etc. However, the system is being fished quite heavily, and catches have been up to approximately 10 per day with a good proportion being released.

Conditions have been particularly challenging in recent days with high temperatures and regular visits to some pools by seals. With the current high temperatures forecast to continue, it is likely that the fishery will be forced to close at some point this weekend.

In recent weeks, we welcomed many visiting anglers from Spain, France, Holland, UK and elsewhere which is lovely to see and their contribution to Ballisodare and tourism generally is greatly appreciated.

Recently, well-known YouTuber Senan Stanley visited the Ballisodare Fishery producing a 30min video which is well worth watching.

Senan Stanley and Paul Bourke have been getting some great trout fishing on Lough Derg. Last week they found the trout to be feeding well with the abundance of bait fish in the lake.

On July 3rd he pair fished for a few hours in the morning and had a good few trout between 35-50cm on light spinning tackle, all released. Looks like great fun!

Paul was out on Jly 4th with Calum, who worked hard all day. Calum eventually managed to boat a 101cm and a 90 cm pike nearing the evening time. It’s never easy when the fish are not active but there’s always a chance

Latest episode of Ireland on the Fly: Ronan Collins on Fly fishing in Africa & dealing with declining salmon numbers

By
IFI staff
-

Continuing their fly fishing in hot waters theme on Ireland on the Fly, this week Tom & Daire are joined by Ronan Collins, a well-known and well-travelled fly angler who is just back from a trip to Gabon in west Africa.

Ronan tells them why fly fishing in Africa should be on everyone’s bucket list with an incredible array of species to be caught from crevalle to snappers, tarpon, barracuda and sharks.

Ronan is also on the board of Salmon Watch Ireland and he talks about this year’s very poor spring run and why a multi-faceted, multi-agency approach is drastically needed to address the emergency situation relating to salmon numbers in Ireland.

Super "Kayak" bass for David Norman

David Norman of Angling Adventures West Cork has added more dates to his ½ day, Summer Bass Lure Workshops schedule…

Finally got a brief window last week to go in search of Bass before the Summer weather returned to its familiar unsettled ways!

I managed to pick up this beauty and missed a couple of others, which more than made the high ratio of work ashore to get afloat versus the actual fishing time more than worth it!

Better reports from Blackwater as grilse run builds

By

Munster Blackwater upstream of Fermoy
Munster Blackwater upstream of Fermoy

Last week saw the arrival of a grilse run to the Blackwater after a long-anticipated wait. Reports are of a lot of fish running through some beats and great signs of them in numbers.

They are elusive enough and not loitering around and with high winds over the last few days, some methods were challenging but a few were taken and were fresh and in 2-3 kgs age class.

River conditions remain low but clear and with no projected rain forecasted at this point, this will no doubt remain the same for the foreseeable future till next weekend at least.

Guided fishing, private fisheries  and clubs etc on the Blackwater

Blackwater Salmon Fishery has 3 beats downstream of the weir and 2 upstream of the weir. Blackwater Salmon Fishery offers fishing on approximately 5 miles of the river Blackwater.

Due to the location of the beats, fishing can still usually be offered in low or high water.

Kanturk Anglers have youth day at Cloon Lough, Kerry

Stephen Murphy reports for the Kanturk and District Trout Anglers…

On Sunday we held our youth fun day out. We had a nice early rise as we headed back to the hills of Kerry to Cloon Lough. We had a great turn out of young anglers who had some great sport on the day under though conditions.

We want to say a massive thank you to our resident master chef Martin Sheill for keeping up with the tradition of being the best fed anglers around. He kept the hunger away by having a great BBQ.

Also a massive thank you to all the parents and coaches that we had helping out. Without your support we would not be able to run these events for our great young anglers that we have in our club.

Go fishing…

The Kanturk and District Trout Anglers is a vibrant angling club based in Kanturk, County Cork, Ireland. The club is dedicated to maintaining and preserving the local rivers, including the Dalua and Allow, which are tributaries of the Munster Blackwater

We continue to meet Tuesday nights for juveniles (7pm – 9pm at Kanturk) and have had great numbers all year so far.
