We've had salmon in the River Irk for years. Regulary used to catch wild salmon in that stretch that ran round Connolly's and ICI and out under Waterloo Road. Mind, yer had to have a peg on yer nose - the stink kept waving over me like a trip to Old Trafford.!I’m not aware of that stretch of river, is it just down from the ginger beer beat, or further down towards the organic watercress farm?
