    No chance. Fishing season is finished. Try again on Jan 1st on the Drowes in Leitrim/Donegal

    There is a statutory ban on the sale of rod caught salmon. You would rely on a gift or else purchase from one of the few commercial nets remaining.

    Angling season is closed except on a few rivers up north. Commercial season is closed since August. You could try contacting fish dealers who might have some frozen for smoking later in the year.

    I can see it now:D

    A spell for the Green Party:p

    from Macbeth, Act IV, Scene 1

    A dark Cave. In the middle, a Caldron boiling. Thunder.

    Enter the three Witches
    1 WITCH. Thrice the brinded cat hath mew'd.
    2 WITCH. Thrice and once, the hedge-pig whin'd.
    3 WITCH. Harpier cries:-'tis time! 'tis time!
    1 WITCH. Round about the caldron go
    In the poison'd entrails throw.-
    Toad, that under cold stone,
    Days and nights has thirty-one
    Swelter'd venom sleeping got,
    Boil thou first i' the charmed pot!
    ALL. Double, double toil and trouble
    Fire burn, and caldron bubble.
    2 WITCH. Fillet of a fenny snake, (YOU CAN ALSO USE SALMON)
    In the caldron boil and bake
    Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
    Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,
    Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting,
    Lizard's leg, and owlet's wing,-
    For a charm of powerful trouble,
    Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
    ALL. Double, double toil and trouble
    Fire burn, and caldron bubble.
    3 WITCH. Scale of dragon tooth of wolf
    Witches' mummy maw and gulf
    Of the ravin'd salt-sea shark
    Root of hemlock digg'd i the dark
    Liver of blaspheming Jew
    Gall of goat, and slips of yew
    Sliver'd in the moon's eclipse
    Nose of Turk, and Tartar's lips
    Finger of birth-strangled babe
    Ditch-deliver'd by a drab,-
    Make the gruel thick and slab:
    Add thereto a tiger's chaudron,
    For the ingrediants of our caldron.
    ALL. Double, double toil and trouble
    Fire burn, and caldron bubble.
    2 WITCH. Cool it with a baboon's blood,
    Then the charm is firm and good
