Fly Fishing below the Salmon Weir in Galway, Ireland

The Galway Fishery is extremely popular among anglers in pursuit of sea trout and especially wild Atlantic salmon. This is the hot spot – from the Salmon Weir in the background and 250 yards downstream. Although the fishing season starts in February, the peak months are May and June when the salmon swim upstream toward their spawning grounds. The average salmon weighs about 12 pounds. The pink fish looks spectacular on a dinner plate.
