May was a reasonable month on the Moy in regards to Spring fish, however the water height meant that fish ran through Mount Falcon water heading for the Upper River and into Lough Conn.
During the month we had the Martin Founds party (Anglers World) from the U.K including John Horsey and Russell Owen. These international fly fishing guys stayed with us and fished the Loughs for wild brown trout as well as doing some spring salmon fishing. Russell landed his first ever salmon on the fly on Lough Conn whilst trout fishing, a 9lbs fish. Then fishing with Mount Falcon Ghillie Danny Irvine on the upper Moy he hooked and landed his second on the fly, all caught on camera. You can view this along with their trout fishing exploits on YouTube just search Salmon fishing in county Mayo Ireland.
Other firsts were for August Luger from Switzerland with his first ever Salmon from Carromore on the fly, an 8lbs fresh run fish.
