Atlantic Salmon Catch Reports from Ireland’s Cork Blackwater River
The First Springer is Caught on the Blackwater Lodge beats.
Lodge regular Gavin Wishart from Newcastle, Co. Down came down to celebrate his 40th. birthday this weekend & scooped the First Salmon of the 2010 season to be caught on the Lodge Fishery.
He was fishing yesterday (March 6th) with Connie Corcoran on Ballinlovane and took the fish on Flying C at Cloonbeg. The fish would have been released, but was bleeding from the gills so had to be kept. The cast before he lost what they both believe was another springer, so there were definitely a few about. It was hardly surprising that it took us until now to catch a fish as there were only 64 rod days for the whole month of February. There would certainly be more springers caught if there were more rods out on the river each day.
