I've lived in Galway for 7 years now and have passed over the salmon weir bridge thousands of times and am yet to see a single salmon being caught! You can see them lined up in the water below though.

He must have had a lucky day, in general I doubt you'll earn minimum wage at it! The licence to fish there is meant to be very expensive... a quick google hasn't come up with the figure though.

Anglers are not permitted to sell there catch. There is strict regulations in place regarding tagging, releasing and logging of catches etc. In some areas the limit can be 20 fish for a season.

Next time report him and help conservation.

guy I spoke to, had lots os angler's badges on his jacket:D

it was below the bridge, they were fishing from the pathwalk.

No I'm pretty sure they are allowed to sell their catch, provided they have their paperwork in order. There are few fish that would go near 45-50 euro a kilo, and I don't know the current price, but I'd say wild salmon would have to be one of them.

It is prohibited to sell a rod caught salmon. The maximum amount of salmon you can take is 10 per season.
