salmon fishing help please

[hunter89 3]

i'm going on a fishing trip at the end of the month to the river moy in co. mayo ireland

 

but i dont know what type of tackle to take, the method we will be using is trotting worms and prawn

 

i do quite abit of carp fishing so will a 12 ft rod with 2 3/4 pound test curve be to heavy?

 

also i have been told that i am best to use braided line instead of mono because you get a better contact,

 

what type of braid would be best to use? floating or sinking?

 

thanks

in braid i don't think there is a floating and sinking its just like a mono and sinks. except with mono you get stretch whereas with braid you don't so thats where the better contact comes from!!

fished the moy myself 8 yrs ago brilliant river never seen as many fish as were in the ridge pool ,when we went in the tackle shop at ballyna he gave us very good advise on were to fish etc.we fished the river up through foxford brilliant time.a lot of the irish lads fished bubble and fly but we fished trotting worms but with only using a large sea fishing swivel for a weight and keeping that worm moving.take plenty of worms you will need them.you will have a great time if you dont catch you will meet some great people one of my alltime best holidays.hopefully takeing my boys next year.

you will have a great time all the best dave.

I have fished the moy on numerous occasions and regardless of what bait/set up you use the water has to be right, that is not in flood and at the same time not too low.

Check out the link below for updates.

Either way you will enjoy the experience, good luck.
