Had a good night with Alan (thewickedpicket) tonight on the River Maine at Shanes Castle.

I had a lovely fresh run salmon about 7lb, Alan had a fresh run Dollaghan about 3lb.

Both fish were returned.

"Its definitely a salmon"



Please dont go over the weir.



Almost there...



Alan, the Dollaghan juggler.



Nice.

A Dollaghan is a lough Neagh trout that leaves Lough Neagh and moves up the feeder rivers to spawn, from about june onwards. They behave very like sea trout and some of the early fish are very silvery. Sea trout flies and tactics work well for them. Night fishing in lower water is very effective.
