Wild Atlantic Salmon 

14/7/17 My Noble anglers failed N. E. S. and W in all departments, be it the magnificent fly manipulators or the magnificent lure artists, all I can say is these magnificent anglers skills have a lot to be desired in all departments. I can just see the Lough Currane Specimen Sea Trout and the wild Atlantic Salmon looking up to the skies as they meet at the Ledge Bar and saying it’s all the ones that got away today and they call themselves anglers! As I finish today’s manipulations I have to eat humble pie because I have just received a photo of a Salmon caught on the fly this evening by UK  angler Mr. Mike Fish, Mike also caught a few Nice C&R Tout and as the Parson said to the Vicar, that’s one. Wind SW fresh with good cloud cover. Yesterdays weather, amount of rainfall 0.2mm. Maximum air temperature 16.8c.
