Conditions have been very tough with the high water, but he has already put in a lot of effort to try to realise his dream.
Last Sunday he came close - landing a kelt.
Today the dream came true...............................................
A very proud David returned to the Lodge in the early afternoon to weigh in his first ever springer.
It tipped the scales at just over 7lb., & red marks around the tail revealed it had only just lost it's sea-lice in spite of being caught at Ballyhooly - over 20 miles above the tidal limit just below Lismore Bridge.
Fish are obviously well up the system as I also heard of an 11 pounder caught even further upriver at Killavullen 2 days ago as well.
Well done David - you thoroughly deserved it!
