New Blackwater salmon season continues to produce springers

The 2012 salmon season on the Blackwater continued to produce springers last week.

It was two days into the season before the first was taken on the Blackwater Lodge’s beats by Ian Powell.

To date Blackwater Lodge has caught four springers, which has been a brilliant start to the season. There was also a report that fish were taken 15 miles further upriver at Ballyhooly, which considering the high water and mild conditions we have had over the past month, doesn’t surprise.
