Finally!

The first salmon of the 2016 season has been landed at Lough Curran [Co. Kerry].

Myles Kelly writes:

He [Neil O’Shea] managed to get stuck into a good fish [above] before the 11 o’clock tea break. At 10:50 the fish was guided over the net and boated. The salmon fell for a 13cm rainbow Rapala lure….

13cm lure?

We’ve all fallen for one of those, in fairness.

Waterville, Co Kerry last night.

Bring your high-volume, huddled masses.

The bigger the wallet louder the better.

Locals in the Kerry village of Waterville have come out in force to proclaim their town ‘American-friendly’ – despite reports to the contrary. Residents and business owners took to the streets of the picturesque Kerry town yesterday evening to wave US flags – as well as Canadian, British and EU ones, for some reason – in a demonstration designed to counter the impression that ‘loud Americans’ were not welcome in the town.

And not a moment too soon.
