Diseased fish found on the Mourne Take a look at the attached photos. One trout was found swimming around in a distressed state in the lower Mourne on Thursday, 14 May 2010. After photographing the trout it was left on a rock to be collected later and given to the Loughs Agency. Unfortunately a mink got it first. There was another case recently of a diseased salmon in the same pool, fresh run and sea-liced, but covered in scabs; this was photographed but returned alive to the river. The photos of the salmon are on the Mourne Reports website. Any anglers finding diseased fish should contact the Loughs Agency directly.
