Angling report - w/e 7th May 2017


Salmon Angling

River Moy

Very few fish were reported from the River Moy this week. The prolonged drought and extremely bright conditions brought fishing almost to a standstill. Amongst the very few successful anglers were Donal Carney, Dublin with an 8 lbs. fish on fly from the Weir Pool in Ballina and Jean Jacques Daurat, France, who had 2 salmon (one released) on Cloongee. Also on Cloongee, Thierry Coulm, France, caught and released 2 fish on bubble & fly. On the Foxford Fishery, David, Robert & Gillian Taggart all caught their first salmon. A few fish were also reported from Rinanney, Armstrong's, Gannon's, East Mayo and the Foxford Salmon Anglers' water.

Sea Angling

Killala Bay

Donal Kennedy reported a cracking day's fishing aboard Leah in Killala Bay. On Sunday 7th May, a party of anglers from the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland and Brazil set out from Killala Harbour at 8.30am for a day's fishing. The weather was excellent with light variable winds and with a slight sea breeze to come late afternoon.

The first drift produced some nice coalfish and small pollack which were all returned. Further out in deeper water things picked up with bigger pollack and some fine ling being caught up to double figures in weight. As the day progressed and after many drifts over rocky ground the catches built up, along with the list of species, including more fine pollack & ling but also cod, pouting, poor cod, grey gurnard, and coalfish. Some big fish were unfortunately lost due to breaking lines.
