April 2, 2009 – Ian Powell with an 11 pounder on fly from Beat 6 – Lower Kilmurry. The fish was released alive.

The Cork Blackwater in Southern Ireland is having a "purple patch" in terms of spring Atlantic salmon fishing.
On Blackwater Lodge beats, eight springers to 14lb. have been taken in the period from March 25 to April 3 for only 35 rod days.
The river is currently in superb fly order with a medium summer level & excellent clarity.
