The
river will be rising quickly overnight & is unlikely to be fishable
tomorrow. Once it does start to fine off the fishing should be superb based on
today’s results
Catches.
Today was a superb day. It was the Best Day of the Season by far with ten fish caught, including the Best Fish of the Season released by guide Conor Arnold at 12½lb.
Conditions were virtually impossible for fly due to gale force winds. One was caught on fly – a 9 pounder for Vaidas Tiskus from Lower Kilmurry. His first ever Blackwater salmon after 3 years of trying!
All the other fish fell to spinner.
Dave Sheehan (Cappoquin) had a 10lb. on spinner from Ballinaroone & moved to Lower Kilmurry where he caught a 9lb. Colm Dooly (Mallow) had a 4lb. grilse on Killavullen followed by an 8½lb. on Ballygarrett. Conor Arnold released two on Kilcanwy at 7 & 12½lb. Dave Walsh (Mallow) landed two on Carrig at 4 & 7lb. & Mick Kennedy (Newmarket) went out in the evening & was rewarded with a 4lb grilse on Woodstream.
