Prospects

Looking very good for the coming week with a small (12cm) fresh on the river but very good clarity.

Dry forecast for the week so conditions should stabilise.

The Blackwater today @ 17.00. Gauge 0.54. Clarity excellent.

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.

The First Spring Salmon is Landed on February 3rd!

Derek O’Keeffe, from Thomastown, Kilkenny came to the Lodge for a casting lesson with Glenda on Thursday afternoon.  After the lesson, Glenda invited him to fish on for the rest of the afternoon on Upper Kilmurry.

He hooked and landed a lovely fresh fish of about 8lb. on a fly he tied himself. It was a colour variation of the PoshTosh as seen in “Trout and Salmon”, February 2010.

The fish was hooked at the head of the Hut Pool on Upper Kilmurry and took about 15 mins to land, having jumped half a dozen times. Derek – a firm believer in catch and release – carefully returned the fish alive. Not wanting to harm the fish in any way, it was quickly released without even taking a photo as he was fishing on his own – the only rod out on the fishery in fact today.

The Draft Proposals for the Wild Salmon & Seatrout Tagging Scheme Regulations for the 2011 Season

were issued on Friday, November 19.

The quota for the Blackwater has been raised to 5,859 from the 2010 quota which was 5,054.

The number of tags for the spring (February 1 to May 11) has not been confirmed yet.

Last year, it was one tag for the Blackwater but this was only announced in a Byelaw issued on December 17, 2009 so we are still waiting to hear if it will be one or three tags.

The Huge Run of Fish continues

I was talking to Fishery Board staff at the excellent Irish Fly Fair in Galway last weekend

& got the latest on the runs of fish into the Blackwater.

There were reports of 7,500 fish that had run into the river in the 8 days from October 27.

Just before the Fair on the weekend of November 13/14, this figure had jumped to over 15,000………………..!

This bodes well for our future stocks of salmon.

On Sunday, July 25th., Mossy McElligott (Tralee) caught the Best Fish of the Season with a 12.4lb on fly on Ballinaroone & his fishing partner Tim Quinlivan also had two on fly of 11.9 & 9.1lb.  Tim’s largest was also the second heaviest weighed fish this year.

The month of July produced 169 salmon for a total of only 183 rod days.This is the sixth best total for the month since I took over the Lodge at the beginning of 1986. It is the best catch for the month since the year 2000, when 263 were caught for 750 rod days. It also includes the two Best Fish of the Season which were both caught on fly on the same day on Beat 3 – Ballinaroone by Mossy McElligott (12.4lb) & Tim Quinlivan (11.9lb).There have also been at least four very large fish lost in the second half of the month.

The table below shows the figures for the six best months of July.

Only the all-time record year of 1992  (when 1511  fish were taken) has a comparable catch per rod day!

Total catch for the season to date is 219.

Take me home, Mum!  Our seven year old son Ian heads away

Current Situation

The river is still fining off slowly from the small floods on July 19 & 23.
It is now @ 0.18m on the gauge with ~5 feet clarity.
Once again there is a huge buildup of fresh fish in the tidal reaches & a good number are running into the main river.
Some of the lower beat – in particular Kents & Lower Kilmurry – are hold a good head of fish.

Prospects

With predominantly dry weather for the coming week, the river remain at summer level.
There are plenty of fish running – both hefty grilse & larger summer salmon.

This is the water level situation at Ballyduff in the last few days. The small flood on Tuesday put the river out of order for a couple of days as it became very coloured. By Friday it was improving and 3 fish were lost on the Lodge beats.

On Saturday June 12), four fish were caught – 3 on spinner & one on fly. The best (~12lb) was caught & released by Ray Burns on Upper Kilmurry on spinner.

On Sunday, June 13, there were 3 grilse taken on the fly.  Clarity is now a good 3 feet.

Seven fish in total for 14 rod days in the last two days.

There has been a significant increase in the number of fish moving through the lower beats since the flood. I’m also hearing about some grilse & salmon being caught up in the Mallow area.

Brow Well Fisheries has been successfully hatching and growing trout and salmon from its site in the heart of the picturesque Yorkshire Dales for over 20 years.

The site was established by Jonathan Jowett, but is now largely run by his brother Dr Ian Jowett, who later joined the company to help fuel it’s expansion and development.

In 1988, Clear Spring Hatchery Ltd was set up to cater for the increased demand for their quality fish and after several years was entirely incorporated into the parent company.

The core of the business from these two sites is to produce eggs, fry and fingerling fish for ongrowing in other waters.

The farms now produce over 4 million fish annually, making us one of the largest producers of fry and fingerlings in the country

We specialise in the production of Brown Trout, Rainbow Trout, Arctic Charr, Blue Trout and Golden Trout, smaller than 10cm (4 inches).

Kilcoleman Fishery, Enniskean, County Cork

Kilcoleman is situated on The Bandon River which flows through some of the most scenic countryside in the South West of Ireland. For centuries it has been recognized as one of the best angling locations in County Cork. It is 27 miles from Cork airport, and 6 miles west of the town of Bandon. The owner combines a life-long enthusiasm for fly fishing having inherited his skills from successive generations of fly angling ancestors dating back to the early seventeen hundreds when his family, The Lamb’s, first purchased Kilcoleman.

The Fishery is privately owned and totals 1.2 miles. We also have access to a further 3 miles of private water 6 miles up stream from Kilcoleman. The Bandon River flows through The Kilcoleman Park Estate which totals 240 acres of park and agricultural land. There are ten named salmon pools. There are also excellent stocks of wild brown trout which average 12ozs with over 1lbs not unusual.

The season opens on the 1st of March and closes on the 30th of September. Fishing for salmon is fly only. Trout fishing is fly only on the whole of the Bandon river at all times.

There is a bag limit of 2 salmon and 6 trout per day per rod. We strongly encourage a ‘catch and release’ policy for salmon hence the limit of 2 per day. Average annual catches of salmon over the past 10 years has been 103. It is difficult to define ‘which month is best’ because sport is very dependent on rainfall.

Kilcoleman is renowned for its hospitality. The owners David and Patricia Lamb make a particular effort to make their guests feel at home. Kilcoleman is just one of a few private fisheries which only permits fly for salmon throughout the entire season. If you require a memorable holiday in a peaceful, un-spoilt environment, with an abundance of wild life, and the added bonus of Irish Hospitality, and all at an affordable price, then Kilcoleman can offer you something quite unique

Blackwater Lodge Guesthouse and Salmon Fishery

Angling for Salmon on Ireland’s Cork Blackwater river. Stay in a specialised fishing lodge dedicated to salmon angling. Fish for wild Atlantic Salmon in the heart of the South of Ireland on exclusive private beats on the world-renowned River Blackwater, Ireland’s most prolific salmon river.

The Lodge’s website is unique in that it has a daily updated river report page: http://www.ireland-salmon-fishing.net/FishingReport/fishingreport.htm

Another unique feature of the Lodge is the in-house smokery – the only fishing lodge in Britain & Ireland to offer this service.

Blackwater Lodge is an informal, comfortable lodge-style establishment in a magnificent location overlooking the world-famous Munster Blackwater - one of Europe’s most spectacular salmon rivers. It’s a no-nonsense, friendly place, where the comfort and enjoyment of salmon anglers is the top priority – truly a specialist sporting lodge.

For years, the Blackwater Lodge has been the hideaway of salmon anglers from all over Europe and North America. They return again and again because of our relaxed atmosphere and beautiful location.

Historically the Lodge was formerly the railway station for the village of Ballyduff. It was built in 1882 & the line eventually closed in 1967. Construction of the Lodge as we know it now began in 1971 around the old station buildings.

The Lodge is Ireland’s premier salmon fishing lodge. It has approximately 14 miles of private and exclusive salmon fishing on the Cork Blackwater. This is a very High record fishery with approx. 1,000 salmon caught per season in recent years, but up to 1,500 per season in the last 20 years.

With the banning of the Irish drift net fishery from 2007 on, the benefits are already being seen. Far more fish are running the river in the summer, & the average weight is much higher than when the nets operated. Already, there has been a dramatic improvement in catches and the greater number of fish in the river has also meant that the percentage of fish caught on fly has been also considerably increased.

All methods are currently allowed, but daily beat rota caters especially for fly fishers.

The Lodge’s website is unique in that it has a daily updated river report page which gives details of the river conditions & the fish being caught at least once per day & often more. The Website Fishing report page can be accessed directly on: http://www.ireland-salmon-fishing.net/FishingReport/fishingreport.htm

The Lodge controls 15 beats (approximately 14 miles of fishing) on the best reaches of the river between Lismore to Mallow. This covers some 40 river miles, starting only 3 miles above the tidal limit. The Lodge offers both guesthouse and self-catering cottage accommodation. It has a lovely lounge with a panoramic view over the Blackwater river. It has its own tackle shop, smokery & provides guides & tuition in all forms of salmon fishing.

The Lodge is owned & run by salmon fishing fanatics Ian Powell and his wife Glenda Powell.

Glenda Powell executes a perfect snakeroll cast.

Fly casting tuition is the Lodge speciality, from beginner right up to the most advanced spey casting with Glenda. She is one of the most highly qualified female instructors in the world, having both Salmon & Trout qualifications with the Association of Professional Game Angling Instructors – Ireland. She was also crowned Emerald World Masters Ladies Salmon Distance Champion in September, 2006.

Glenda’s Tuition Page:
http://www.ireland-salmon-fishing.net/Tuition/Tuition.htm

The Lodge is very accessible as it is situated only one hour from Cork, 2 hours from Shannon & Rosslare and 4 hours from Dublin.

Call or contact Ian or Glenda anytime to discuss any aspect of the Lodge. (Sometimes they’re not available if the fishing is good!).

Varzina River Lodge, Kola Peninsula

The very best flyfishing in Kola Peninsula, arctic Russia for large Atlantic salmon & trophy wild brown trout!

Untouched wild nature, clear water and clean air combined with excellent fishing make the Varzina Lodge truly a world class fishing destination.

The Lodge main building contains our gourmet kitchen, a spacious dining room and a fully supplied lounge bar. It is also equipped with a satellite-operated TV, phone, fax, and e-mail facilities. A specialized fly-shop is also available.There are two separate saunas with hot showers available daily. A four-person cabin with its own sauna and a small living room is also available. The Varzina experience is limited to satisfy 16 anglers per week.

All our rivers support wild populations of really large and truly strong Atlantic salmon. Fish up to 35 lbs. and more, crystal clear water, great variety of rivers all with huge number of fishable pools – These are the elements that combine to make the unforgettable Varzina salmon experience.

We can offer easy fishing and instruction to any beginner and most challenging pools to the demanding salmon connoisseur.

Daily helicopter flights take fishermen to the pools that are at their prime condition for fishing . There is one experienced guide available for each two fishermen. Our international guides know the area well and can help with fish spotting, fly selection and casting problems as necessary.

The first early salmon are all huge. They run from June to early July. Then the mid-sized fish follow and finally also the numerous grilse fill all the pools. Fresh run, sea-liced fish can be found even high up in all the rivers throughout the whole season.

The Varzina brown trout fishing is really one of the seven wonders of the fishing world. No other place in the world can offer brown trout fishing of this quality and variety. Otherwise normal trophy trout is just one average fish in our rivers.

Specially late in the season there is no end to the trout averaging well over 22 inches. These are really wild, heavyweight fighting fish that will amaze even the most jaded trout angler. We just might call your sixth (of the day) double figure fish a trophy…

The excellent fishing combined with first class accommodation, service and guiding will make your holiday one that you’ll really remember forever.

Icha River Tour, Kamchatkya

A remote and very beautiful, clear flowing, fair-sized river that flows off the slopes of the immense Ichinskaya Volcano in western Kamchatka.

Access to upper river forks by helicopter from town of Esso, skirting the immense and impressive, snow-capped volcano. Put-in on any one of three swift forks, to float quickly through the mountains on this very scenic river. Good fishing for salmon (lots of chums, sockeye and pink, some coho and maybe Masu?). Excellent fishing for big rainbow trout and charr (mostly dollies and some Kundzha. Lots of wildlife-bears, ducks and eagles.

Can be flyfished for much of its length, but intermittent large deep pools from mid-section down would best be probed with spinning gear.

This river fishes best in August and September.

If you are contemplating a fly fishing vacation on some of the world’s wildest waters and need help deciding exactly where and when to go and who to go with, please check out our site.

We offer the ultimate wilderness coldwater angling adventures in Alaska and Kamchatka, Russia (and the Far East mainland) for rainbow trout, steelhead, salmon (six species), charr and Siberian taimen.

We all are welded together in friendship, reliability, a passion for adventure and hunger for discovery.

Waitaki Lakes

The Waitaki Valley is the Gateway to the Central South Island Region, with its main geographical feature being the abundance and variety of excellent fly fishing waters for wild, Brown and Rainbow trout.

Beginning in the ‘High Country,’ these clear spring creeks, streams and rivers flow through contrasting scenery and terrain ranging from snow-capped alps and rugged gorges to wide open grassy valleys.

When these waters combine, they enter a chain of hydro lakes before becoming one of New Zealand’s largest braided river systems – the Waitaki River, which empties into the Pacific Ocean.

The relatively short travelling time between such contrasting waters and scenery is an advantage should weather patterns or conditions necessitate a change of location.

Specializing in fly fishing – dry fly & nymph, for both experienced and novice anglers. Tuition in casting and techniques. Spin fishing options.

OTHER SPORTS FISHING AVAILABLE

EVENING/NIGHT RISE – The evening Caddis hatch and accompanying trout rise on the Waitaki River throughout the season is renowned. Many anglers who were at first hesitant to participate in this type of angling, became ‘hooked’ – in more than one sense of the world.

SALMON (CHINOOK/KING) – Entering the Waitaki River as early as November, the recognized ‘run’ is from January to the end of April. Optimum period is considered to be during February and March, coinciding with the peak of our New Zealand summer.

SEA RUN BROWN TROUT – Entering the esturine areas of the Waitaki River in good numbers, generally during the months of November through February. Average sizes range from 31b to 8lb but it is not uncommon for sea Run to be landed in the 101b – 14lb range.

Main season – October through April

Fishing on the River Dwyfor

With an average yearly catch of 2000 – 3000, the River Dwyfor is one of the best sea trout rivers in Wales.

Salmon runs start in September with the odd grilse caught before. The largest salmon to date weighed in at 33 lb.

The sea trout are mainly caught on the fly at night using traditional sea trout flies and some local patterns. Floating and intermediate lines are generally used. Large surface lures have become very popular and take some big fish.

Worms are used during the day and night if water levels are ok. Fishing when the river is in flood can be fantastic sport with the worm. If the river level is very high with thick chocolate colored water, trotting worms along the banks can produce some big fish. When the water starts to clear the spinner can be deadly. Mepps, tobys and rapalas are the most popular lures.

RIVER DWYFOR is mostly controlled by the Criccieth,Llanystumdwy and Distict Angling Association.

River Dwyfor Permits:
