Good morning from a dark,damp and quiet Foxford, another Salmon season over. I think we mark our lives more by the passing of fishing seasons than by the birthdays and like birthdays they seem to be going faster. The 2021 season had highs and lows but overall it was not a bad one. We had a good run of fish, saw the return of anglers to the Moy and a little bit of normality to life. There’s a good number of fish throughout the system and I am reasonably confident there will be good spawning. In summer the Pinks added a new element to our sport and although i’m no scientist I reckon they are here to stay and will become a bigger feature in our lifetimes, 2023 will tell a tale. From a business point of view 2021 was not easy for anyone, Lock-downs, Uncertainty, Brexit, Shortages and Rising prices all had an effect. The main thing for us is that we are still here and have our health, this time next year we could be millionaires, who knows. The winter plan is to get back to work on the website and stock the online shop. We will start a Friday blog which hopefully you will follow and perhaps enjoy. Thank you all for your support and friendship throughout the season, it means a lot.

Hi Micheal and PJ, yes another season over, but as you say there was light at the end of the tunnel and hopefully the future is even better for fishing, but more important our families and lives in general, thank you for all your help as usual , stay safe and I’ll see you’s all next year
Once again many thanks for all your help and the daily updates so helpful to many Anglers. We look forward to next season plenty of fish and less Covid.

PJ, Michael
Thanks a million for the daily updates. Really enjoyed them and they often determined whether I’d take the afternoon off or not! Take care during the winter and I’ll be up to replenish the fly box and a few other bits and bobs in the next month. Best wishes, Niall (Galway)

Love the posts every day you bring to us all, excellent advice gentlemen… what a River, see you soon
Thanks Guys for all you help during
the year.
Hopefully we have a short winter & get back fishing early in 2022.
Thanks again.
Pat in Dunboyne
Daily posts during season very helpful and informative – Thanks!
A suggestion for your weekly Blog – its difficult to get information on all of the Fisheries on the Moy around Foxford if you haven’t actually fished a particular Fishery. A Blog article, dedicated to each Fishery, providing a description and information, Fishery Map and location of Pools with information on best methods to use on each pool or stretch on the Fishery would be most valuable for a visiting angler. Not sure if this is available in a booklet or available already, but if not it would be great information to have for visiting anglers. If this kind of information is already available somewhere, could you let me know where I can get it?
Keep up the good work!!!!
Hi Pat, thank you for the comment and suggestion. The fishery guide is a project we have on the “To do list”. We hope to get at it this winter
Michael & PJ.
