Salmon Angling
River Moy
Fishing on the Moy improved further with a few more fish reported from the Ballina Salmon Anglers' water and the East Mayo Association water. Local angler, Micksey Clarke, was amongst the lucky ones with a fine spring fish of 9 lbs. With milder weather ahead and water levels dropping angling conditions should improve further in the coming weeks.
Carrowmore Lake
Anglers on Carrowmore Lake enjoyed another very good week of spring salmon fishing. A total of 13 salmon (2 released) were caught for the week averaging 8 lbs. Amongst the successful anglers were Martin Reuland, Belmullet, Vincent Rigney, Westport, John O'Connor, Navan and John McBride from Northern Ireland. Successful flies included Thunder & Lightning, Green Peter, various Shrimp patterns as well as ½ inch tube flies.
