## Resource

Salmon anglers are furious after Inland Fisheries Ireland shut down the Corrib River weir for fishing due to warm water — even though fish were still being caught just miles away. Billy Smyth of the Galway City Salmon Angling Association calls the temperature rule a nonsensical disconnect, sparking debate over whether the policy is fair or even practical. The weir reopened this morning, but the controversy over how rules are applied remains hotly contested.
