land's Moy and the Ridge Pool

February 3, 2006 By: Marshall Cutchin

This piece by Clive Gammon describes how a single salmon pool in Ireland can attract anglers from around the world while providing a local spectacle nonpareil. “‘Too fresh!’ said someone (I should explain here that salmon fishing on the Ridge can be something of a spectator sport. The bridge at its tail of the pool carries the main road in and out of Ballina and when the fishing is hot, traffic jams occur as buses and trucks pull over to watch.)” From the Irish Tourist Board Web site.
