Well, a big tip of the hat to Derek for hooking up with a fine 8 pounder.
A tip of the hat and a royal bow for not taking the time to photo his catch!!!
In my opinion the way to go. I think we've all seen plenty of "look at me"
fish photos. Let 'em go as soon as possible.

When you can arrange your affairs to go fishing, forget all the signs, homilies, advice and folklore. JUST GO.
That's what we thought too! So much so we have given him free fishing for the whole month of February!
Maybe he'll catch No. 2 as well, though not today as it's out over the banks in a big flood.........................
The Second Salmon of the Season is caught on Blackwater Lodge Salmon Fishery
Only 2 rods out on the river yesterday.
Tony O'Keeffe from Mallow was fishing at Kilmurry with his father Dan
and caught this 6.6lb. fish on Flying C on the Island Stream on Lower Kilmurry.
Sea-lice can be seen in the picture - two on the top of the tail and one below the adipose.
There were more on the back & the head of the fish. They also caught a few kelts.
There was a couple of rods out on Friday that also caught a few kelts,
but also saw a fresh springer show that they estimated at 15-20lb. - also on Lower Kilmurry.
The upper river had a slight (5cm) rise yesterday.
Occasional light rain in the upper catchment had been responsible,
and this has meant that the lower river has held it's level at 0.85m.
The level is currently too high for good flyfishing,
needing to be below about 0.6m to be able to wade and fish comfortably.
The weather forecast now looks as if we can expect a dry spell of at least a week.
This should ensure that the level will come down to fly order.
When it will be very interesting to see how the upper beats from Ballyhooly to Mallow will fish.

Awesome fish!
How many salmon are you aloud a season?
I am thinking this would be one more reason to visit Ireland. I would have too many rings to kiss before I could enjoy time on the rivers and golf courses.

It's 10 fish total for the season & bag limit/day varies with the season.
One of the Best Spring Starts for Many Years!
This fish was taken at 3pm on March 17 (St. Patrick?s Day) by PJ Burns from Dublin. Weight 8.2lb.
He took it on spinner on the Lodge's lowest beat - Ballygally - about 2 miles below Ballyduff.
This is the third springer for March & the eighth for the season so far.
This is the Blackwater in absolutely fine fettle this morning.
The recent rain only brought the river up 12 cm by Saturday morning to 0.46m on the gauge.
It's down to 0.36m @ 18.45 this evening.
No fish taken today, but a couple seen again on Ballygally.
Conditions are absolutely perfect. Clarity about 4 feet, water temp. 47F.
Beautiful fly height with summer level.
