Riddle of the salmon harvest and the anglers who couldn’t find it
A lot of estimates and guesstimates have been coming from the SWRFB, but this 5,000 figure must be placed on the guesstimate pile.
We can only wonder where all these fish were caught, because they certainly were not caught in Kerry. Take the SWRFB-managed Kenmare Backwater, or the 'model fishery' as they like to call it. Isn't it true that the manager of that fishery asked Mr Barry to close it in July last because there were no fish in the river?
