Hello Foley, got a hen fish on Tuesday evening about 5lb, released it- in the same pool as the last one [above Weddle somehwere] and lost one earlier.
The water doesn't seem to be as brown as it was but serious leaves.
Anyway Paul send me your mobile number to my email: info@moyolaangling.com and i'll give you a shout about electrofishing.

I would just like to add to the comments of the Chairman regarding the passing of Charlie OKane.It was always a pleasure to meet Charlie and I remember going to the hatchery one day and finding him there on his own building a  wall  at the edge of the river.He was very happy to be taking on the task himself and he didn,t even ask me for help.I did stay to assist and we had a few very enjoyable hours.To Collette and the family I offer my sympathy on their great loss.

The Moyola Angling Association is delighted with the response to this guestbook.
However an increasing number of anonymous or fake nicknames have been leaving comments.
In the interests of proper dialogue among anglers only those using real names or recognised nick names will have their posts put on to the guestbook. The rest will be blocked.
Keep the comments coming.

Well lads, just writing here to report i had a nice wee salmon on saturday. Got it at forgetown at 5 o clock in the evening on a purple and copper blade flying c (for you boys still on for the spoon who want the fine details lol). she was a fish of 3 1/2lb to 4lb and cleanish. Got her netted as quickly as possible and she swam away strongly without any reviving needed so i was happy to see she was no worse for the encounter and she made my year!:)

Just thought you would like to hear of a fish, maybe help to restore someones confidence to get back at it before the season ends. Your fish will be hard earned but it feels better then when you do get one so keep at it lads.

I think this would be a great place to post any reports you have and i would urge you all to share your success stories with the rest of us. Its always good to hear someones catching. Also remember to use your real name and not a nickname as Seamus has already said.

Good luck to all for the rest of the season!

There’s plenty of good websites for fly tying materials.
It really depends on what your after. Tinsels threads gold beads etc are all the same if you have the manufacturers name.
My advice would be to hold off buying capes because it’s better to have someone who knows a good cape with you when you’re buying.
cookshill do top quality feathers and fur and are always at the foyle fisheries open day in February (a long way off I know). Your other option is to speak to Stephen Jones in craw fords maghera or Bert Atkins in garvagh, tell them what fly you want to tie and they will get you a cape.
Another option is Stanley, I’m not sure if he sells capes or not.

Could I ask anyone using the guestbook to sign in under his or her own names?
People using nicknames in my opinion could have something to hide or maybe they just want to be disruptive.
It’s best for us all if we know who were addressing when replying to comments.

Ciaran I’m up for the clean up whenever suits. Peter walls should be available too.
I’ve been toying with the idea of having a Saturday in jan, feb, march and april as a clean up day where we could pick a different location each month to work on.
Does anybody else have any thoughts on this?
