2007,WHAT A YEAR

The season is now ended and what a season it was with over 2500 salmon caught and released,my own rod had 57 to 18lbs and an average of over 10lbs all on the fly.With the drift nets gone the big salmon are back in good numbers one fish of 36lbs was hooked landed and released just below Kilkenny and on one of the lower beats two visiting anglers had there rods well bent with fish of 25lbs . On the last day of the season a local  man had a fine fish of 23lbs at Browns barn bridge.

The river was at a good level all year with all that rain we had and the fish kept running even now in late November fresh fish can be seen at the weir at Thomastown.

Some good fish..........
by jim brown on 

Andy Kelly from Wexford will always remember his first day fishing on the Nore.

After years of passing over the Nore on his way to fish the Blackwater Andy thought it was time to try the Nore. He only fished a few hours and hooked three fish but only managed to land two, 13 & 15 lbs, the one he lost was also about 15lbs. Good fishing Andy, and welcome to the Nore.

6 salmon in one afternoon............
by jim brown on 

Local angler Pat Kennedy had a good afternoon on the river, he caught 6 salmon all about 7-8 lbs as the river was still high he was using a spinner.

I also got a report of two Kilkenny men landing 7 salmon between them at Browns barn bridge.

I tried the fly at Ballygallon but at 1.6m it is just too high so I just went for a walk down the river where I met Declan Moran from Dublin who had just caught and released a 5lbs fish. It looks like it might be a good weekend if the rain stays  away.

Ps If your coming to fish the Nore in the next few days  don’t forget the spinning rod.

This is Ballygallon last night the river level is 1.6m and the water is starting to clear.

Quick get to the river before it starts to rain again !
The river is still high but fishable. Got some good news from the Kilkenny Anglers and the Thomastown club, 10 salmon caught in the
Kilkenny waters and about 6 at T.town and guess who got the biggest,
yes it was Tom Moylan again ,15lbs well done Tom.

River too high.
by jim brown on 

The Robert Gillespie course had to be canceled due to high water. A new date will be set for better water conditions soon. I was down at Brown's barn bridge on Saturday and the river will be out of order for fly fishing for a few days but I did see three salmon in the pool below the bridge I will keep you posted.
