    I would have thought what's in him to be any idea what he was feeding on, as in what was in its stomach!

    Didn't check his stomach,but twas my understanding salmon didn't feed in fresh water so id imagine there wouldn't be a lot in his stomach if he didn't feed since he left Greenland. As far as I know they feed on prawns at sea but im no expert.......

    Well in cork anyway it's a common thing too say what's in him ? As in weight so maybe the person who asked is from cork

    Not being smart now but why would ya want to know what was in his stomach ?i know a trout or whatever you see the flies he eating but sure a salmon won't eat in freshwater and I say that very loosely as I am following the thread about that which is also very interesting

    I think the majority of people who fish in the sea put most fish back. I started fishing 6/7 years ago and 99% of people ive met thru the hobby practice c&r. A lot of cod get taken alright in the winter but i rarely see a bass, flat or ray taken.

    That was the opening weekend and I haven't been since. Was on Ennell a week later and some major hatches of Duckfly. Will be back on Owel again hopefully this weekend with the fly rod.
