He landed 63 salmon from Irish waters during 1980. He told the News Letter: “The Agivey is a marvellous river. It is full of salmon with good water and good holding pools. I don’t normally fish the Agivey until late in the year but I’ll be on it earlier next year.” <br />See who you can spot in our collection of old photographs from the Farming Life archives. <br />And of course, feel free to get in touch via email at darryl.armitage@nationalworld.com.
