Ireland: annual salmon run

During the week 7 fish were caught on the Lodge Beat of the Owenduff, all in the 7 to 10 lb range with the exception of one magnificent salmon weighing 22 lbs caught by the Clonmel angler Philip Maher on fly.  This is the heaviest fish landed on this beat for at least 45 years and wins Philip the Catch of the Week.
