Congratulations to Mario Corona from Italy who caught this super fish earlier this week. Mario was given a birthday present by his son to come to Ireland and fish for salmon with Glenda Powell at the Blackwater Salmon Fishery for his 80th birthday.

She will never forget the look on his face during the fight and the relief when they got it into the net. This was a wonderful experience for both of them.

The river was at 0.46 at the gauge on Ballyduff Bridge earlier this week, the water temperature was 9 degrees Celcius. The river is clear and the conditions are suitable for all methods. Five salmon have been caught in the last ten days and there have been several fish lost on the beats during this period. We are seeing fish most days, and on Sunday (1st May) a lot of fish were seen moving upriver.

If you are looking for fishing and can’t reach Glenda Powell because she is guiding or teaching, then please phone Noel on +353 (0)85 – 7220 923, send an email, or leave a message and she will get back to you.
