With near record rainfall and water levels substantially above normal it is probable that salmon smolt survival will be substantially increased in their freshwater migration. Predation pressure will certainly be reduced. It remains to be seen how this weather and water level impacts on newly hatched or salmon parr.

Wonder if we will ever see research like this done here

• R E C O R D • R U N • I N • 2022 •
During the late fall/early winter of 2022 a research program where made the To estimate the number of the total salmon run of 2022 in river Skjern…
The result have just been puplished and shows that a total number of 7553 Atlantic Salmon migrated into the Skjern during 2022 wich is the highest number ever recorded in a Danish salmon river!…
The numbers shows that 62% of the salmon were wild fish and 38% were salmon from the breeding program wich was released into the river system as juviniles….
The last time the calculation was made was in 2019 were a total of 5897 salmon with a number of 51% wild fish migrated up river
The Skjern Salmon still have a lot of challenges to conquer to forfill its full potential but as a rare thing in the World of the Atlantic salmon we are slowly getting closer…

In the link below you will find the full report, its only in Danish, but if anyone have any questions please feel free to ask…

Congratulations to Allistair leong on winning the overall prize with 4 fish, and also congratulations to Mark Jeffers on winning the longest fish with a great specimen fish just over 50cm well done to all. And we can't forget our juvenile anglers who fished hard all day well done to all of them.

Well folks it's competition day, hope ye are all ready for a great day's fishing it's great to be back hosting this great competition again after 2 long years off, some great prizes on offer, remember registration from 11 in the car park and competition from 12 to 3, juvenile anglers will fish the beat in front of the car park only they don't move from this beat, we have 3 beats for the senior anglers and anglers have to move to the next beat every hour no fish will be registered if the angler is on the wrong beat so make sure to move every time and most importantly enjoy your day

Well folks it's time again to hold our shad fishing competition and we have decided that it will be held on Sunday the 22nd of May, starting at 12 o'clock and finishing at 3 o'clock high tide on the day is about 1 o'clock so this is probably the best time for it, registration is from 11 o'clock in the car park. This year we will be measuring the fish so the overall winner will be the angler with the 3 longest fish measured and there will be a prize for the longest fish,and a juvenile competition for anglers under 16 years old, measuring mats will be available on the day but if you have a mat please bring it, rules will be explained at registration. Fish welfare is most important so get your fish measured and back in the water as quickly as possible any angler seen to miss handle fish will be disqualified from the competition it only takes a few minutes to make sure all fish are swimming strong before they are released so please make an effort to see every fish goes back properly. Looking forward to seeing ye all back again for this great event and I hope ye all enjoy the day. Prizes will be presented in Blanchfields pub with finger food and a raffle afterwards. Entry fee for competition is adults €15 and juvenile €5

Nice to see fisheries board doing a patrol this morning badly needed as there are a group down fishing who are nothing to do with angling and are causing a lot of damage to the fish in the area, please if you observe anything which you thing is wrong please report it to the number on this post 0818347424 its a confidential number but its very important to report these individuals, 95% of the people who come to enjoy the fishing in St Mullins are genuine anglers but its that 5% who are only there to take every fish they catch who are giving us all a bad reputation please report these individuals and help us to keep St Mullins a great fishing destination
