Water conditions have assisted salmon to run into the river and as the water hasĀ receded,Ā fish have been observed moving inĀ theĀ Navan area, though not in greatĀ numbers. Luke Walpole tried his luck during the past week and hooked Ā a lovely fish which unfortunately threw the hook before being landed. Other anglersĀ alsoĀ reported hooking and losing fish.
Anglers should also note for their diaries that Navan and District Anglers Association will be hosting a fly fishing information and casting demonstration day at the Ardboyne Hotel in Navan on 20th May 2012. Following an introductory talk by Angling Author, Master Fly Caster Ā and APGAI Instructor Peter O’Reilly a number of demonstrations Ā (double and single handed) will be given onĀ theĀ River Boyne at Kilcarn Bridge by Peter and APGAI Ireland Instructor Eamonn Conway. In addition to all of this the Celtic Sea Trout Project Awards will be taking place and Minister of State atĀ theĀ Department of Communications, Energy and Natual Resources Fergus O’Dowd TD will be attending.
Inland Fisheries Ireland would love to see you there. All are welcome to attend but fly fishers are asked to bring along a non fishing or non flyfishing friend or family member to introduce them to the sport of flyfishing. The event will run from 10.30 till 6pm. AdditionalĀ detailsĀ are available at www.faw.ie
