The Upper Mourne benefited from decent water height in July making for good fishing; a total of 26 salmon were landed, with a further 10 lost. Connor Moran from Londonderry landed his first ever salmon, 4 lbs on the Snaa pool, with his father catching a similar sized fish. The largest fish for the month was caught by Ian Gordon, an experienced local angler, at 10lb. That day he also caught two further fish at 5lb and 2lb. Mid-July saw guest fishermen from Spain watching the reigning world spey-casting champion Gerard Downey on the Snaa pool. The Mourne had at least two good floods which both brought fresh fish into the system. Prospects for August are looking good.
