Our First Spring Atlantic Salmon is landed!
The season opened on February 1st.
Mike Sheridan from Dungarvan landed the first springer of the season on the Lodge beats on spinner at the Hut on Lower Kilmurry. It weighed ~9lb. Very fresh but no sea-lice. The spinner came out of the fish when it was netted and it was promptly released.
Conditions
It is a mild cloudy morning here today with air temperature is +3°C at 07.30, no frost and little wind. High pressure continues to dominate our weather right up until the end of next week and there is no rain forecast. Temperatures will stay cool, but barely down to freezing at night well into next week.
The lower river continues to fall slowly but steadily. It is down to 0.61m at 08.00 today 6th. This is the lowest is has been since the View more...Our First Spring Atlantic Salmon is landed!

Good clarity on the lower river at about 4 feet & at least 5 feet on the upper river.
Water temperature at Ballyduff: 8.2ºC / 46.8ºF @ 08.00.
Water temperature at Killavullen: 5.3ºC / 41.5ºF @ 23.00 last night.
Prospects
Absolutely excellent right through until the end of next week
as the river is coming down into cracking fly order.
With springers being caught on the lower river, prospects of sport
are very good indeed, especially if day-time air temperatures rise a bit.
