      <description><![CDATA[Third Springer is caught on the Blackwater Lodge beats
The third springer of the season was taken on Sunday, March 14 by Larry Sheridan (Dungarvan) who gillies for the Lodge.
He released the fish which weighed about 12lb &amp; was taken on black Flying C at the top of the Island Stream on Kents. 
It didn't have sea-lice but very fresh. He saw a couple more springers there as well.
Unfortunately no picture as he doesn't carry a camera with him.
The river is now at summer level - 0.36m on the Ballyduff gauge. Perfect fly order.
Lots of kelts being caught on flies as small as size 8.

Bass fishing guide Michael McCormack from Wexford with the second fish of the season from the Lodge beats. It was sea-liced &amp; weighed in at 10.2lb.
It was taken on Silver Bullet on the Green Bank on Upper Kilmurry.
Michael saw 3 or 4 more fresh fish as well during the day.
He was the only rod out on the river today - one springer for one rod day cain't be bad!

Lodge regular Gavin Wishart from Newcastle, Co. Down came down to celebrate his 40th. birthday
this weekend &amp; scooped the First Salmon of the 2010 season to be caught on the Lodge Fishery.

He was fishing on March 6th.  with gillie Connie Corcoran on Ballinlovane and took the fish on Flying C at Cloonbeg. 
The fish would have been released, but was bleeding from the gills so had to be kept.
The cast before he lost what they both believe was another springer, so there were definitely a few about.
It was hardly surprising that it took us until now to catch a fish as there were only 64 rod days
for the whole month of February.  There would certainly be more springers caught if there were
more rods out on the river each day.

[B][U]Prospects[/U][/B]
There are more fresh fish being seen in the river in the last few days.
The river is in absolutely cracking order at the moment  - even for the fly.
0.44m on the gauge so perfect fly height &amp; clarity a good 4 feet.
The weather forecast (Metcheck) looks dry for the next 2 weeks apart from about 6mm on the 15th.

      <description><![CDATA[2009 Season Report for Ireland’s Blackwater Lodge Salmon Fishery
[IMG]http://www.ireland-salmon-fishing.net/News/sizematters-nov09/header.JPG[/IMG]
[B][U]The Biggest Fish Ever since 1986?[/U][/B]
On September 15th. last, Tony Murtagh from Co. Dublin landed &amp; released a fish estimated at approx. 25lb. weight. 
This huge fish was taken on spinner on the Island Stream on Beat 6 - Lower Kilmurry. 
The fish was rather coloured but fin perfect and very well conditioned – being very deep bodied &amp; broad-backed. 
It was quickly released without even a picture being taken as they had no camera &amp; no weigh net! 
It measured 96cm (38&quot;) long with an estimated girth of 50cm (20&quot;). 

Some of our recently caught fish were measured for comparison:
A 13.5 pounder measured 81cm, a 15 pounder was 85cm &amp; a 19.1 pounder measured 89cm. 
The gillie that released this fish said that he could only just get his thumb &amp; forefinger of both hands 
around the wrist of the tail, which was definitely much thicker than the 19 pounder.

[B][U]Heaviest Weighed Fish of 2009[/U][/B]
[IMG]http://www.ireland-salmon-fishing.net/Galleries/2009/gallery2009/september2009/09-09-18rosier.jpg[/IMG]
On September 18 last, Paul Rosier caught the Heaviest Weighed-In fish of the season 
on prawn at Gorman’s Pool on Kents – Beat No. 4. It weighed 19.1lb &amp; was absolutely tide-fresh.
The same day, they saw literally hundreds of fish on the beat, including at least a dozen 
which they reckoned were the same size as the one he caught – it was the only take of the day!

[B][U]Heaviest First Ever Salmon of 2009[/U][/B]
[IMG]http://www.ireland-salmon-fishing.net/Galleries/2009/gallery2009/september2009/09-09-08verlingsfirsts.jpg[/IMG]
On September 8th., Belgian anglers Guillaume Verlings (l) &amp; Jean-Paul Hendricks (r) both caught their First Ever Salmon! 
They were both taken on spinner on the Castle Flat on Beat 3 - Ballinaroone &amp; weighed 16.6 &amp; 9.8lb. 
Both fish were sea-liced! Guillaumes' was the Heaviest First Salmon of 2009!


In 2009, there was much talk about drastically reduced numbers of salmon running into many rivers.
Here on the Blackwater, whilst the spring run wasn’t so good, from May on we saw good numbers of fish running. 
May in fact produced the best number of fish caught  (53) since 1996 and was in fact the third best ever total for the month 
since I started accurate records in 1986. It was only beaten by 1994  (82) &amp; 1996 (72).

Whilst it was certainly not a year when the number of salmon caught for the whole season was outstanding, 
there were a couple of factors which help explain the lower catch figures for the backend &amp; consequently the total season catch.

This was in part due to less rods fishing ( a consequence of the recession) 
which is a major factor which is often not taken into consideration when looking at catch statistics.  
The other startling factor in 2009 was the behaviour of the fish themselves. 
Whilst there were large numbers of salmon in the river, especially in August &amp; more particularly in September, 
they displayed a startling reluctance to take any offering. 
This was a phenomenon which was observed throughout Ireland this last season.

The table below shows the catches since I took over the Lodge in 1986.
[B][U]Blackwater Lodge Fishery - Salmon Catch Statistics.[/U][/B]
[IMG]http://www.ireland-salmon-fishing.net/News/sizematters-nov09/table.JPG[/IMG]

[B]Catch &amp; Release[/B]
As an aside – 43% of the fish caught  in 2009 on the Lodge Fishery were released. 
This is well above the national average of 38% in 2008 as recently published in the 
Central Fisheries Board Wild Salmon &amp; Seatrout Statistics report 
for 2008.  Our guests released 52% in 2008. 

This report also states that 12.9% of all fish caught &amp; released in Ireland in 2008 were on the Blackwater
– the highest in the country for rivers which were not designated as C&amp;R only.


[B][U]Graph 1:  Catch per Rod Day[/U][/B]
[IMG]http://www.ireland-salmon-fishing.net/News/sizematters-nov09/graph1.jpg[/IMG]
A far better judge of the quality of the fishing is to look at the average catch per rod day 
rather than mere number of fish caught, which of course depends on fishing effort. 
This table above shows these figures for the last 3 years on the Lodge Fishery, 
which corresponds to the period since the drift nets were banned. 

It is interesting to note that in fact August is the best backend month,
which wouldn’t be apparent from the catch statistics for the number of fish caught by month alone. 
In August, there are actually far less people fishing on the Lodge beats compared to September.

[B][U]Graph 2:  Dramatic increase in larger fish.[/U][/B]
[IMG]http://www.ireland-salmon-fishing.net/News/sizematters-nov09/graph2.jpg[/IMG]
The Blackwater has always been better known for its prolific runs rather than the size of the fish. 
I must admit to having had the impression myself in the first 2 years without drift nets (2006 &amp; 2007) 
that there was an increase in the size of fish coming into the river, 
but accurate analysis of the weight of fish caught doesn’t actually bear this out.

This graph illustrates the percentage (of the total catch each year) of fish caught by weight class. 
Please note that for this purpose - for example - 8lb. represents fish between 8-8.9lb, 9lb represents fish of 9-9.9lb etc.

For simplicity, I have only included the figures for fish in the 8-14lb class which is where the biggest difference can be seen. 

Fish in this class accounted for 33% of the 2009 catch compared to only about 18% for the period 2004-2008.

The graph gives data as follows:
- The average percentage for the years 2004-2006   i.e. the last 3 years when drift nets operated.
- The average percentage for the years 2007-2008      i.e. the first 2 years without drift nets.
- the figures for the 2009 season.

We can conclude from this that there was actually very little difference in the size of fish caught in the 8-14lb class 
for the 3 years before &amp; the 2 years after the drift net ban.

[B][U]Graph 3:  Percentage Increase by Weight Class in 2009 compared to the 5 Year Average[/U][/B]
[IMG]http://www.ireland-salmon-fishing.net/News/sizematters-nov09/graph3.gif[/IMG]
There is however a dramatic difference in 2009. 
The true difference is perhaps not adequately illustrated in the above Graph 2. 
To better show the real increase, Graph 3 above shows the percentage increase 
in each weight class by pound compared to the average figure for the period 2004-2008.

From this we can conclude that - relative to the 5 Year Average (2004-8):

- The proportion of fish caught in the 8-10lb. class increased by ~50%
- The proportion of fish caught in the 11-13lb. class increased by ~150-200%
- The proportion of fish caught in the 14lb. class increased by ~400%

[B][U]Looking Forward to 2010[/U][/B]
It will be very interesting to see what will happen next season.
In the early ‘90s we carried out our own scale-reading study of fish caught on the Lodge fishery.

                                   [B]Grilse:[/B]    We concluded that grilse were almost exclusively 1/1 i.e. spent one year in the river &amp; 1 winter at sea.     
                                                   Therefore we can expect to see the return of a lot more grilse in 2010 – the progeny of the 2007 run – the first season without drift nets. 

[B]Larger multi-sea-winter fish:[/B]   These were 2/2 to 2/4. We would expect the first of these to return in 2012, but it will be very interesting to see 
                                                   if the increase in 8-14lb. class fish will be sustained next year.

[B]Prospects for a great season’s sport for anglers for whom size really does matter![/B]]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I fish a weighted Wolly Muddler often, and tie it the easiest way possible.  I do not like to wrap lead on the shank, as it distorts the dimensions of the fly.  A simple way is to use a bead...tungsten if you desire depth.  I also cast them using a sink tip which carries the bigger flies much better than a floating line, and allows you to use less wt on the fly allowing more motion of the fly.  One of the finest tips is the steelhead/salmon tipped lines in different grains...  175, 200 gr. etc.  Strip in to the color change, and then cast the 24 ft. tip as your backcast length(you can allow 3ft of overhang) shooting the rest, and the one density off of the tip tracks the best with much less danger of hooking yourself on the cast. Let the angle of your cast, and stripping determine what depth you want to achieve.  I can cast and fish a 24 ft. tip in three feet of water, or in 10 ft. of water, and achieve depth in both according to my casting angle, and stripping.  The wt. on the head of your fly will dip and rise the muddler in jigging, effective way.]]></description>

I am having a hard time finding out anything about this specific rod, and would appreciate any information anyone might have.  Still in great shape, a little worn from age but not from use, from the looks of it.  Thanks.]]></description>

The water conditions have not been favorable but we are getting fish everywhere. A few rainbows have been picked up but I have not done a lot in the way of steelhead yet. Soon, I hope. If you're fishing let me know how youre doing. Email me through my site. Thanks. www.goldenfishingguide.net]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I have just received my father's split bamboo fly rod.  It is a 9 ft. Montague. Part of the label is scratched off, but what I can read says PELH-- Brook.  I have seen listings for a Pelham Brook from Montague, so I assume that is what this is.  My problem is, I don't know what line weight to use on it.  The line on my father's reel is probably the original line he put on it back in the 40's.  How can I determine the line weight for this rod?  Thanks for the help.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I doesn't get any better than late September, early October on the Big Wood. 70's for outdoor temp, clear water that has lots of fish bulking up for winter, leaves turning yellow, and only a couple other anglers.

The rainbows were in excellent health and actively feeding off the top.  I found 1030a -3pm to be a great time.  All the lighter color patternd 16-20 were effective.  Lots of 12 inchers and but the occasional 15 inchers were there too.  I found them to be in the slower water, shore side, top of a ripple.  The rainbows were'nt alone.  For the first time, after fishing it for 6 years, I hooked a colorful brown trout too.  Everything was off the top, no bead heads, or droppers. 

The occassional deer and other wildlife were also present.  Enjoy it.]]></description>

      <title>[Fly Fishing - General] Паллетные стеллажи для склада CVH</title>
      <link>http://flyfishingconnection.com/phorum/read.php?21,12332,12332#msg-12332</link>
      <author>CVH</author>
      <description><![CDATA[[b]Паллетные стеллажи для склада CVH[/b]

Стеллажи универсальные одинаково хорошо подходят как для складского, так и для офисного использования. Универсальные [url=http://www.skladskoe.net/rack.htm]металлические стеллажи[/url], в зависимости от особенностей конструкции, могут иметь грузоподъемность до 1800 кг на одну секцию.

Наиболее распространенной разновидностью складских стеллажей являются [url=http://www.skladskoe.net/stel1.htm]паллетные стеллажи[/url]. Их конструкция рассчитана на хранение товара, упакованного в специальную складскую тару, и состоит из вертикальных стоек и поперечных балок, на которые помещаются паллеты. Металлические стеллажи паллетные в стандартной комплектации не требуют применения складской техники для обработки грузов. На основе стеллажей данной разновидности конструируются более сложные системы хранения – набивные или этажные складские стеллажи.

Стационарные и мобильные архивные [url=http://www.skladskoe.net]стеллажи[/url] оптимально подходят для хранения больших объемов документации на бумажных или магнитных носителях. Металлические архивные стеллажи активно используются в хранилищах библиотек, регистратурах, картотеках, архивах и других подобных заведениях. Мобильные металлические стеллажи чаще всего устанавливаются в помещениях с небольшой площадью. При их использовании экономия пространства может достигать 50% по сравнению со стационарными архивными стеллажами. 

[img]http://www.skladskoe.net/images/img/stel1.1.jpg[/img]

В тех случаях, когда объем подлежащей хранению документации сравнительно невелик, в качестве более компактной альтернативы архивным стеллажам используются архивные шкафы. Они устанавливаются в офисах и обеспечивают бесперебойный доступ сотрудников к нужным документам.

Стеллажи консольные – это наиболее рациональные системы хранения для длинномеров: металлопроката, пиломатериалов, труб и других подобных крупногабаритных грузов. Складские стеллажи этого типа могут предназначаться для одностороннего или двухстороннего складирования. Стеллажи консольные характеризуются высокой надежностью и повышенной устойчивостью, поскольку по правилам безопасности в обязательном порядке крепятся к полу анкерными болтами.
