OK I don't know where you heard this but night fishing is certainly not illegal. It may be against fishery rules on some private or club fisheries, some places do have specified times for angling in their rules, but there is no law against fishing at night time. The best sea trout fishing is often in the dark. Ditto brown trout fishing on rivers in warm summer weather. There is also no law against the lures you mention, I've never heard of them being used here but they are certainly not illegal - again there may be local rules, such as fly-only stretches, where they would be against the rules, but on a national basis they are not illegal.
Please familiarise yourself with the fishery laws before you post information as facts on a public forum.

Sorry for my post as i was just going on hear say. Its just i remember chatting to a water keeper once just outside foxford and we were chatting about the fishing times on the moy. If i remember correctly you can ony fish upto 10 oclock at night on the moy and i asked him why this was and he replied with "its illegal in ireland to fish for salmon after this time". I do know that you can fish for trout/sea trout after dark but always thought it was a no-no for salmon.

Nice 8lb Salmon caught on the Moy at Oldcastle yesterday.

Just noticed on mayo fisher's report's that he's been releasing a few fish with net mark's on them :mad: Havent seen to much of this myself in year's
TBH. Would he have any picture's of them so any new fishermen know what they look like with damaged net mark's on the salmon.

Concerning these net mark's, would it be possible that these mark's happened on the other end of the atlantic ocean because if i remember correctly, it's legal to fish with net's in greenland/alaska.

I'll ask him if he has any close up shots of the net marks and I'll post them up here.

Checking the link in the OP he says he wont be out much fishing because of the weather. Is that because theres no fish in or is it salmon dont run or even go for the bait in weather like this and just stay in the pools.

mayo.mick · 17-08-2013 8:08pm

One caught yesterday at Oldcastle by Moyfisher.

Wee question about the moy and around thsi time of year. will there be big fish returning again seeing as the grilse will have stopped or will it just be the fish already in the system that youll have a chance to catch.

Seen this on moy fishers web site and im curious to know what he means, "Rather than run the risk of it going belly up I brought it home"

I think what he meant by that was, he was putting him back in the river but the fish wouldn't revive, so he decided to take it home?

River Moy fishing is quiet at the moment.

mayo.mick · 05-09-2013 10:13pm

Seen a pic on moy fisher web site with a coloured salmon getting returned. Just wondering is it ok to eat one coloured like this

"Visiting German angler Michael Weisser had a day to remember on the Moy yesterday. Michael has been a regular visitor to the river but a salmon on the fly has always eluded him. Yesterday his luck changed when he landed two and lost another. Both fish were sportingly released. Well done to Michael and lets hope its the first of many."

Michael Weisser with his second fish was around 9-10lb.

Have been away and only back. Was at the river up at cloongee/EM on Tuesday to Fri and not even a bite. Very unusual for this time of year. Was at pontoon and the same there. I'm wondering why it's so quiet. I'm thinking some of them poachers must be cleaning that river out up near ballina. Was even chatting to a guy who said there's a 5 mile net out in the sea somewhere, if true this is madness!!

thehamo · 08-06-2014 10:34pm

was hoping to hit the cloongee stretch the end of June but this doenst sound very promising

Now is the lull between spring and grilse runs, getting later each season.

John Buckley had this nice fresh grilse yesterday evening spinning. It was one of a number of chances John had on worm and spinner.

River Moy very quiet at the moment with very low water levels. Will the heavy rain promised for the south of the country move up further north and bring a much needed rise in the Moy levels?
