The Iconic Corrib


This a snap I took one day in May 20206 of a frequently-photographed section of the river Corrib.

In the middle of the river are the remains of fish traps, constructed during the 1800s, designed to catch spawning Atlantic salmon swimming upstream.  Behind is Weir House which is home to the low-profile Galway County Club, and the Fisheries buildings.  Further up the river, you can see the Salmon Weir bridge - and the modern salmon-weir is out of site behind it.  

Thank you!
