May 31. Best Day of Season & Best Catch for One Rod in a Day........

Mick Kennedy caught 5 fish to 9 lb. on the upper river - 3 on fly, & 1 each on spinner & prawn. 4 were released alive. There were 2 other fish on fly also on the upper river - both very fresh fish, one of 7.6lb. & another 4½lb. released.
  We had a superb purple patch for the 6 days to May 31st.
Sixteen salmon & grilse to 10lb. were caught for only 18 rod days. Nine were caught on fly. Only 6 were grilse under 5lb.
It started on the 26th. when Kieran McClements from Belfast caught his First Ever Salmon with a 4lb. grilse.
The 27th. was what was at the time the Second Best Day of the Season with three fish to 7.8lb caught.

Catch totals to date: 

February - 5,  March - 4,  April - 8 & May - 40.
The Total for the Season to the end of May is 57.
Fly has been the most successful method for May & for the total season.
