Just looking at this picture of a fish caught on the moy and it looks scared to me. Can anyone tell me why its like this. A friend of mine whos beside me and whos a keen fisherman says it looks like net marks to him, would anyone agree. also why is the tail all in bits.

Don't think so, a net marked fish would show more damage to the dorsal fin area. Fish often have marks like that, sometimes the angler's line can produce marks that look similar to net marks. Having seen hundreds of fish like that, and many more fish that were clearly net-marked, this doesn't seem to be caused by a net. The tail is sometimes split like that too, but unless a fish reversed into a net at speed that wouldn't be the cause...0 -

What other method is there
?
I was thinking of trying to use a few bricks when i seen the wee ****ers jump all around me. Think there was this one salmon that was teasing me because it kept jumping in same spot.
When i said about catching them on a rod. I really meant whats the best method and how do you set a rod up.0 -
Nice Salmon caught by Moyfisher yesterday. A Lot of Salmon being caught now on the Moy, mostly in the east Mayo anglers stretch :cool:

I have been. This might be a long shot but im going to ask it anyway. Is it possible you can take pics of how to set up lines for fishing different methods. Maybe even a thought for moyfishers site because as a newbie like myself and same with my mates, it would be nice to see pics of how to set up a line for worm,prawn, jumping jack line with worm and other methods you might know of. The reason why i ask is that ive fished for salmon many a times and never catch anything yet theres always people around me that does :mad: and i was always told it was to do with setting a line up properly.
I'll be having a pint (or 2 :pac: ) with moyfisher tonight in the local and I'll put that idea to him. Maybe do a tutorial with photos and put them up on the website? Good idea tootsy, I'll have to follow him out on the river and take some photos! 0 -

By the way, which moy fishery are launching your magic carpet in?Several places where people use boats to fish for salmon in Ireland. I've seen it on the Moy at the Joinings, the Bann, Shannon, Lee and the Munster Blackwater in the tidal stretch. In Scotland, they use a big chain and the gillie pays it out as you go down the best beats while you fish with a double-hander on many of the big salmon rivers. I resume this is about rivers? Plenty of lakes obviously where you can catch salmon from a boat on the flyI would agree. I think the poster above is having the wind up because i have also seen boats on the moy, just below foxford when i was there a few years ago for a weeks fishing.
I dont know the laws concerning fishing from boats in ireland but id take a guess that its perfectly legal to fish in a river from a boat, infact i would prefer it rather than having to cross fields,clime fences etc.. that and the fact that ive walked through fields before with my son fishing, and the animals werent to happy we were there so we had to do a bolter.
Just as im typing this, i remember stopping at a bridge just outside of foxford(its the east mayo stretch if i remember correctly) and there was a sign saying boats for hire so clearly its possible to have a boat on this river.Park Royal wrote: »As I understand things , its the actual "fishery owners" have the boats , at
eg Foxford and Mount Falcon also in the (Ridgepool for those lacking
mobility usually).
The only other people who put a boat on the freshwater Moy are the Fishery
Officers and recreational canoeists( who usually respect that its a major game
river). I never heard of an individual angler coming along and launching himself
or herself into a fishery with their own craft.( except poachers of course). I
suspect the fishery owner would have alot to say about the matter.
As for fishing from a boat on the moy. Even thou i havent seen it myself, i cant see why it should be a problem. Ive always thought about launching a boat myself on the moy because there is quite alot of spots that you just cant reach because it has 2 banks full of trees for a few hundred yards. Im sure there would be nice pools in these places, its just nobody has fished them before and doesnt know where they are.
If you were just out on the boat and not fishing, theres nothing the fishery officers can do because they only own the fishing rights of the river and cant tell you to move on unless your bothering any fisher men and causing problems.0 -
