willygun 0 Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 The first salmon of 2011 was caught on the river Drowes this morning at 8.45am. The 11.5lbs fish was caught on a one inch Flame Thrower Copper Tube Fly by Armagh angler Ian Martin. The fish was taken at the Blackwater on the Lareen stretch. http://www.drowessalmonfishery.ie/reports/ Quote Link to post

hunt and fish 35 Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Did there not used to be a £1000 reward for the 1st salmon of the year in the Drouse? Quote Link to post
willygun 0 Posted January 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 There is a prize for the first salmon of the season but I'm not sure what exactly is involved also the first fish is usually auctioned for the life-boat association. Quote Link to post
