River Mourne

A few images of the river Mourne. This is the Gravenue pool in the town of Sion Mills looking upstream from the foot bridge. You can just about see someone in the water fishing at the top right, this give you a better idea of the size of the river.

This is the view downstream from the foot bridge. The river continues on to Strabane where it meets the river Finn where they become the river Foyle.

Fishing

First Springer Salmon.         Success on my first day salmon fishing of the season. I fished the river Mourne running through the town of Sion Mills near Strabane. Having fished all morning with my 13ft fly rod with no success i decided that after lunch i would try spinning. On my second pass down through the 'Gravenue pool' i hooked up with a good strong fish. Three times i got the fish close and three times it went on a run. Once straight across the river and another way downstream. Great fight and certainly leaves you wanting to go back for more. It was caught on a black flying 'c'. Info on the river Mourne can be found at mournereports.com
