1st salmon of 2015

EastTyrone · 05-01-2015 4:56pm #1

Does any one know if and where the first salmon of the year was caught? As far as I know the drowes hasnt had A catch yet.

As of this morning the IFI reports none yet.

popsy09 · 06-01-2015 12:23am

Still no fish anyway hope its not a sign of things to come for the year ,all I'm hearing about is salmon stocks falling and my fishing prices going up ha

Roll on the 17th ,can't wait for a cast

ytpe2r5bxkn0c1 · 08-01-2015 5:49pm

Still nothing as of this afternoon. I think it took a while at the start of 2014 as well.

I still haven't seen any reports of a Salmon. Anybody hear anything?

breghall · 19-01-2015 5:36pm

heard of one landed in Killarney, but it seemingly was not a fresh fish....

it's taking a while to get the first one and we're 19 days in .

dardevle · 19-01-2015 9:32pm

Nothing down here on the Drowes.....water levels still extremely high.

The Laune confirmed by IFI
"The salmon weighed in at 10lb. The fish was confirmed by IFI staff who were in the area as being clean, having run the river in the last couple of weeks."

Correct. My error, apologies.

popsy09 · 20-01-2015 10:39pm

lads there is no way that is a fresh fish ifi dont have a clue , look at how soft the belly is and even the colour on its gills

its a baggot and anyone who knows any bit at all about salmon will agree

with ifi saying it is a springer people will go along with it but for me and a lot of other anglers the fish should have been returned , hope this link works

About it being a farmed fish and not wild , the scales are being sent away for examination

Check out ifi page on Facebook some very good points made for and against
