- Salmon fishing on the Drowes Salmon Fishery on the Wild Atlantic Way in the northwest of Ireland. Including fly fishing for spring salmon, grilse, gillaroo trout on the river Drowes and Lough Melvin. Other activities such as horse riding in Mullaghmore and surfing in Bundoran.
Enjoyed the video Shane well done on a fantastic fishery.
To anyone interested in excellent salmon fishing in stunning surrounds I highly recommend the Drowes salmon fishery, me and my wife and 3 kids have just spent a week there and loved it, we stayed in one of Shanes cottages and it was perfect, lovely and clean spacious and lovely scenery. I fished a couple of mornings and the river is perfect for all methods of salmon fishing, I caught a lovely fresh grilse of around 4 1/2 pounds and also another morning I netted a fine brown trout of around 3 pounds for a french angler staying on the fishery also. It is a very healthy fishery and very well managed, and for everything else besides fishing Donegal and Leitrim the beaches are lovely for familes and a host of other activities for the family I cannot recommend the fishery enough and the owner Shane Gallagher is a genuine gentleman friendly and helpful and very generous. We loved it there and we will be back,

Smashing video Shane. Can't wait to wet a line there where the weather improves a bit. A very special river. Love it.

Are you moving to Ireland +Clive? May your new life be full of happiness. It's hard to leave your country.
I wanna move there...... just for fishing..
Join the huge club of us dreamers lol
At 5:09, looks like a wild brown with the most blazing red splashes.
I see some salmons arent release, what is the policy regarding killing them ? is there catch and release an ogligation? thanks
Hi Juan, catch & release is not mandatory on all Irish rivers with an identified surplus as calculated by the standing scientific committee. The identified surplus for the river Drowes for 2019 is 2648. Anglers are also restricted by yearly and seasonal quotas, eg. 3 fish up to 12th May and 10 fish in total in any one year.
@@rosfriar Nice, I understand. Thanks for your answer. Best regards
@@rosfriar Yous are welcome to come down to the Drowes and release fish! Its quite welcomed!
I tried all season in Scotland and didn't see one except from abt 5 jumping a waterfall were u rnt aloud to fish🙄
Marco Why should shrimp fishing be banned?
The fish at 2:11 doesn't look like a springer and it doesn't look like it was going to be returned either. Just saying.
Marco, why not ban all fishing; we all use hooks! I love to cast a fly, and love to use a shrimp too. Whats your argument ?
2020 and no fish to be seen for the whole January
Nice job. Killed that fish before it could spawn. You should be proud......
Ye take a photo and release fish.
Jay M it’s more about dwindling numbers of fish than being ethical for me when I C&R
@Jay M the Atlantic Salmon Reserve ran a study examining wether Catch and Release leads to salmon dying post-release or not. They radio tagged 50 fish caught on rod and line. By the end of the season all 50 fish had made it to spawning areas. Catch and release is necessary in my opinion. Salmon populations are decimated and declining everywhere apart from the Kola Peninsula and parts of Canada.
In 1980 survey of Irish Rivers of which there was 520 in number supportion eels,Trout and Salmon by 2016 only 20 Rivers
in this Survey passed the Water Quality Test to support any of These Species ,
In 2006 the Irish Government along with the Inland Fisheries who control the Fishing Rights of all These Rivers banned the
Traditional Seasonal inshore Drift Net Fishing.
This had a devastating effect on all the small Fishing Communities all along the Western Counties From Donegal to Cork,
The Irish Navy was instructed to harass and lift all the Nets of Licensed Traditional Fishing Communities in May and June of that
year,
The Government at that time said that it was an EU directive which was a lie as the EU in Brussels said it was a decision
made by the Irish Government Themselves,
They then Proceed to put pressure on the EU to make an official announcement in November 2006 to instigate a complete
ban on these Traditional Families who only fished for a week or 2 in June Weather Permitting,
One would have Thought that if proper attention was paid to the River Surveys over the Years that the real Pollution Culprits
would have been sorted out,
These are all the Chemical Plants that were given licences to build on Riverbanks since the 70ts 80ts and up until the Present
Day,
Also the thousands of Tonnes of Fertilizer that is being spread by Farmers in close proximity to these once thriving Rivers,
Surely the Disparity in the number of Rivers Polluted since 1980 should have raised a red flag,
So when you buy your licence for a day a week or for your Fishing Trip spare a thought for all the young people from the West
coast who had to Emigrate,
Who lost their Tradition and Heritage and who were hunted of the Sea that gave Generations Before Them a small seasonal
income which is no more,
The Way it is going without any measures being taken against Pollution it would not surprise me if Farmed Salmon are released into the Few Rivers that is left so that you may be fooled into thinking you caught the Real One,
Truth not Fiction ,
From an old Sea Dog,
YES MIKE , I TOTALLY AGREE . POLLUTION ,EFFLUENT, SLURRY ETC HAS THE WATERS DESTROYED .SOME DROP IN 36 YRS ,520 TO 20 .THAT SAYS IT ALL .WHAT IS THE GOVERNMENT DOING ABOUT IT . THE USUAL S,F ALL. A DISGRACE .ARE WATERS TESTED AND CULPRITS HEAVILY FINED . ITS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE .
@@michaelburke7070 Well sure when a Government wanted to stay in power they had to create jobs
they gave licences to Chemical and pharmaceutical companies from all over the World and where were they all built but on riverbanks ,
These people only cared about their own pockets and didn't care of the poison they would be releasing form their manufacturing,
Then you had the Farmers the strongest lobby group in the Country and their vote was important
so the quality of the river water was the least on the agenda, That is the facts so the Survey was expected and true to form, They all shout when its too late but the Backhanders to Ministers was
to lucrative to turn down Multinationals have deep pockets and all these ministers had no one to
answer to sure look at our track record , Tribunals , Inquiries , Millions of taxpayers money given to
Barristers who laughing at the stupid system who they designed for themselves,
shrimp fishing should be banned...period!!!!
Your uneducated foolishness has been noted. Questionable profile pictures should maybe be banned though LoL +marco.
why?
@@eileenhenryselby-smith9762 Yes Why? Sure go down there and tell me how many you come back with!
@@garybennett3256 that's exactly why. To give the salmon a fair chance so that there are salmon for future generations.
@@truthteller8567
I think prawn and shrimp should be allowed as long as all fish caught with this method are released. I believe in releasing all salmon no matter what method. As long as they are handled correctly and allowed to continue their journey and spawn.
