Salmon, while Fishing with his Gillie Mr. Neil O’Shea at
for your reports. An unexpected salmon today on the fly.. A size 12 claret
bumble enticed a stale but feisty salmon from the grassy. After the
obligatory photo he was put back safe and sound.
Plenty of good sized brownies as well and rose two decent sea trout. A
grand day out on Currane. Regards, Leonard James. Wind NNE light with reasonable cloud cover. Yesterdays weather, maximum air temperature 16.2 c.
