Excellent run of salmon in Galway – over 120 fish in a week…

Water levels remained slightly on the high side, with 2 gates inexplicably being kept open all week, in spite of dry conditions and falling water levels throughout the catchment upstream. However, the run of fish has been excellent, with large numbers of fish entering on every tide. 123 salmon were recorded for the week, with many more fish hooked and lost also. Fly and shrimp were both successful this week, and as water levels fall further the fly should come into its own.
