Report
Salmon Fishing on Ireland’s Cork Blackwater re-opens on February 1st.
Hopes are high for a great season with a continuing improvement in the spring run & drift nets now banned.
2006 Summary
Superb Spring Salmon Fishing on the Cork Blackwater in Southern Ireland.
The Best Spring Run for at least Ten Years.
There was a superb run of spring salmon into the Cork Blackwater in 2006. Whilst the run didn’t get under way to any great extent in February, March & April were extremely good. Fish were being taken even on the Lodge’s 9 beats on the upper river between 17 & 28 miles upstream of the Lodge.
Summer Fishing
Low water and comparatively few anglers meant that the catches from May to August were not great.
However, with the ban on drift nets which starts in 2007, we are expecting a considerable pickup in the grilse & summer salmon fishing.
Backend Fishing
We finally got good water in September & as usual the autumn fishing was superb with 400 salmon taken on the Lodge beats for September. The Lodge’s 7 lower beats below the first weir on the river produced most of the fresh fish. |
