    Good luck so, and let us know how you get on. Hopefully you'll have some pics of nice fish off the Nore.

    the bit of rain seems to be putting a bit of a stir on the sea trout around wexford, already a few spotted in Boro dale so if the rain keeps up they should be in the smaller rivers in no time. The fishin has been absolutely brutal around wexford for the last 3 years or so but I'm hopin this year will see a turn around. There is still a ban on the Salmon on the river slaney but we can fish the sea trout. Don't know if the ban was a good or bad idea cause the rivers were still being netted illegally on regular occasions. I havn't been to the river yet but will do in the next week or two, I'll post my outcome:)

    Didn't see one fish landed, and no sign of any fresh water in the river!

    Went on my first seatrout session of the year last night. Plenty of fish in the river but none would touch a thing. Stayed til about 2am without a touch and tried several different methods. The water may have been slightly coloured after.

    Was crossing Patricks bridge in Cork city over the weekend - there was about a hundred seatrout below the bridge around the 1/2 lbs mark and a couple of about 2-3lbs. Great to see.

    Shblob,

    Strange how good news gets around so quickly.

    That angler was me. Great days fishing, all on fly with another fish lost and two missed. I will be back on the Cathedral Beat again this Sunday again. Anyone else going to be around the Moy this weekend ?

    As mentioned in another thread there seems to be a huge amount of salmon parr in my local river at the moment. Hooked one last night while fishing for brownies. The river has been closed to salmon fishing for years but you would hear of the odd one being hooked occassionally, it would be great if they were to make a proper return.

    :mad: :mad: :mad:

    Just heard this morning there was a massive slurry spill on a tributary of the river, and that the salmon and trout on the tributary have been wiped out, and obviously the slurry will filter down into the main river, and with waterlevels being so low this could turn out to be a massive disaster just when things were starting to look good again.

    Sorry to hear that Tony. That's a balls altogether. Im sure prosecutions will follow :rolleyes:

    I got my first seatrout of the year last night and follow him up with a second! Happy days. Lost the biggest trout of the evening and he felt like a very nice trout. :(

    Connemara rivers in flood yesterday, lots of salmon and sea trout running. Huge numbers in some areas according to counter figures I heard. Just my luck I bust my thumb yesterday and can't cast! :mad:
    More rain forecast tomorrow night and next week, hopefully enough to top up the lakes and keep rivers steady for a wee while...

    Anyone notice the first east coast sea trout this year have much better average size than usual, even for early runners.
