River Moy
With the salmon angling season
ceasing on the 30th September, the reported catch for the
final days was 123 salmon. This brings the total reported catch for
the Moy system to 7310 for 2009, which is on par with the 2008 catch.
As the season is now closed I would like to remind all anglers to forward
their angling return log books to Ardnaree House, Abbey Street, Ballina
Co. Mayo by Monday, 19th October. We would like to thank
all Fisheries Managers, Guides and Gillies for their efforts over the
season and for supplying the much appreciated information which makes
this weekly report possible!
