Jason Corcoran caught and released the the first springer of the year to be reported from the Ballyduff Bridge beats this year. Jason caught his fish on the morning of the 24th of February at Cable Island. The salmon was a lovely clean fish, sea-liced and lightning fresh.
Updated – 27 February: Well done to Connie Corcoran for catching and releasing a cracking salmon estimated around 14/15lbs this morning at our Cable Island Beat.

Ballyduff Bridge Salmon Fishery
Ballyduff Bridge fisheries control a number of beats of the Munster Blackwater. The Ballyduff Bridge beat is almost a mile long offering a huge variety of water and is particularly suited to fly fishing. Upstream near the village of Ballyhooley (a few miles outside the town of Fermoy, Cork) we have two beats. The Ballincurrig Beat is one of the most beautiful locations along the river and has an excellent piece of fly water flowing into a deep pool. Just downstream on the opposite bank we have a short but productive beat, called Magners. This beat fishes also well in high water.

Water levels and temperatures drop at Delphi
David McEvoy reports from the Delphi Fishery where the winter is coming…
Just a quick update. Water levels have dropped off and are now running at 17. Water temperatures have also dropped to below 5 degrees. We didn’t bank any more fish since Geordy’s on Monday last, but fish have been seen but not caught.
We do however have availability in week 11, from the 12th of March up to and including Friday the 16th. It would be a River/Fin rotation, with 2 rods Monday, 4 Tuesday and Wednesday, 6 Thursday and 3 Friday. Boathouse cottages are available also and preference would be given to people staying. I’m sure we’ll have water by then and I would be very hopeful of fish being caught. If anyone is interested please contact the office on +353 (0)95 – 422 22 or email to info@delphilodge.ie.

Go fishing…
At Delphi Lodge, with many years of experience with the timing of the best runs of fish, we have in place a price system that offers both great value fishing and lets our anglers know when they have the best chance to catch a fresh run spring salmon or a summer grilse or Delphi sea trout.
