On this week's podcast, I chat once more with Paul Procter. Paul needs no introduction as he is one of the country's leading river anglers. I always enjoy chatting with him as he has so much knowledge and stories to share. This week, he talks of his local rivers in Cumbria, feeding lies and tailwaters. Plus, he tells the story of his 17lb Icelandic brown caught on a dry fly and 5 weight rod, plus much more. A must listen to.

You can also find my previous chat with Paul on episode 36.

This week's episode, I chat with Irish International Darren Maguire. He recently won the Champion of the Lough competition held at Lough Melvin. He tells us how he did it and shares his knowledge, which he has gained going back to when he was a young boy fishing with his dad. He has 8 International caps to his name, plus was Captain in 2022, leading Ireland to gold. He also talks of how his season has been and especially his success early season fishing the duckfly on Corrib.

Enjoy!

In this week's episode, I chat about my past week's fishing on Lough Corrib and Mask. After a very slow May, it was great to see the water temperatures drop and fishing pick up. I talk about how the booby claret dabbler got me some nice fish on Lough Mask, plus I managed to get ferox on both Corrib and Mask.
Enjoy!

After a disappointing Mayfly, in this week's podcast episode, I discuss the hatches we can expect this month, including the Coch y Bonddu beetle, Caenis, Damsels, and Pin Fry. When, where, and how to fish them and make the most of this month, and bring success.

The past few weeks have presented challenging conditions, with bright sunshine and no wind. On this week's podcast I share my experiences on Corrib, as well as an evening spent on Lough Arrow in search of spent Mayfly.

Also, I discuss my guiding on Lough Corrib and provide information for anyone interested in joining me to experience this special Lough.

Enjoy!

May has finally arrived and thoughts turn to eagerly awaited Mayfly fishing. I have been on Lough Corrib for the last month and already there are signs of hatches. This episode, I put together a selection of clips from guests who chat about this magical time fishing on the Loughs of Ireland, notably Corrib, Sheelin and Arrow.

Enjoy this feast of Mayfly podcast!

This week's episode I chatted once more with Craig Barr. He tells us how both Rutland and Grafham are fishing right now. He has been out on both lakes the last week and tells us where is fishing, what flies and methods are bringing him success. If you are visiting either water the coming weeks this episode is a must to listen to.

Enjoy!

This week's podcast episode I headed up with Alun Rees to Llyn Clywedog.

Clywedog is UK's premier water and most consitent for top sport and this week was no exception. The fish were close to the shore as expected early season and we had plenty of fish, enough to lose count. We had Blues, Browns and Rainbows to over 5lb. In this episode I talk of the tactics which brought us success in a blustery easterly wind. Once again Clywedog was kind to us, the place is on fire!

This week I met up with Irish boat building legend Jackie Mons at his workshop close to the shores of Lough Corrib. He has been building traditional timber boats since the age of 16. He has recently retired but still restores and repairs some of his customers boats. I wanted to catch up with Jackie before he closes his workshop doors for the last time. He talks of how it all started and what it takes to build these sort after magnificent works of art.

This week's podcast I chat with brothers Stan and Chris McKeon. They have fished together for 65 years on their local water Lough Owel. Together they have both played a big part in making what Owel is today. We chat about all things about this magnificent lough.

We start our chat at the angling centre located on the shore of the lake, then onto the hatchery and finish off back at the lakeside.

Enjoy!
