Inland Fisheries Ireland
re-open Galway fishery
Inland Fisheries Ireland re-opened the Moy Fishery in Co Mayo, and the Galway Fishery in Galway city, from today.
Both fisheries were closed to angling 10 days ago due to elevated water temperatures.
Barry Fox, Head of Operations at Inland Fisheries Ireland said they are lifting our cessation of angling protocols at the Moy and Galway fisheries.
“Water temperatures have reduced to appropriate levels, and when taking weather forecasts into account it is now considered appropriate to reopen both fisheries.
“Water temperatures and weather forecasts will continue to be monitored on both fisheries over the coming weeks.”
Freshwater fish species such as salmon and trout can suffer ‘thermal stress’ arising from the impact of adverse warm weather on them.
The Galway Fishery opened to angling at 2pm ton Monday, and the Moy Fishery resumed from Tuesday. Management at both fisheries contacted all anglers who have confirmed bookings over the coming days.
Those anglers who have had fishing cancelled due to the elevated temperatures will be refunded in due course.
The Galway Fishery can be contacted on 091 562388 or emailed via [email protected]
IFI may be required to close both fisheries and other State-owned fisheries if water temperatures rise to levels considered unsafe over the summer months.
