You sound like a fisherman that knows the river. It was a man leaning on the bridge who told me they were dollaghan. Since I would not know one end of a rod from the other, I accepted his explanation. Rollcaster - Welcome to my blog. You sound like a fisherman that knows the river.

It brings me peace just to look at these pictures and envision myself being there... By the way, I am one lousy non-dedicated fisherman. As we used to say in Kansas, "No brag, just fact ma'am."

Yesterday we were even steven with you temperature wise. Dublin had monsoon rain and across the water two people were stranded but accounted for last night after they were caught up in treacherous weather during 1000m Peaks Race in the Snowdonia range in North Wales. About 245 people started the race and a number had to be airlifted to safety by helicopter. @Chris - It was indeed tranquil on Sunday last.

There are so many Dollaghan in that river it looks like a fish hatchery. "Tis a beautiful photo of a lovely place. It is unusual to see such calm waters in a river.
