Hi all,

This time next year I'll be hitting the big four-oh, and I'm determined
to catch my first salmon. I'm guessing that short of trekking halfway
across Europe, somewhere in Ireland would be my best bet.

I must admit to being a total dunce when it comes to Salmon but I do at
least know that they run at different times of year in different
rivers. Can anyone in the group recommend a good destination in Ireland
for salmon at this time of year?

FWIW, I've fished the Moy at Foxford before and wouldn't mind going
back there. It was in full spate (raging torrent, tree trunks floating
along... you get the picture) and I caught an eel and a perch.
Grrrrr....


Why go so far for an adventure?

"The smart money is on a perch," he told BBC News.

I was amazed - a perch taking a Canada goose - where did he think he was
- The Nile?
