In this week's episode, I chat with Galway angler Owen Trill. Owen is a professional fly tyer and frequently showcases his tying skills at fly fishing shows in Ireland, UK and Holland. He also guides on the Salmon Weir in Galway, where he has been fishing since he was a young boy. During our chat, he shares stories from the past and discusses his top patterns that contribute to his success.

This week's episode I record while fishing on Lough Corrib. I talk of my experience and tips for fishing wets, loughstyle. Methods, casts, lines and making the most of conditions, that bring success.

In this week's episode, I travel to County Mayo to chat with Kieran Connolly. Kieran has been a guide on Lough Conn and Cullin for over 40 years. We talk about times past and the changes over the years, how it all started for him, plus some funny experiences, and his time fishing with football legend Jack Charlton. He also shares his experiences fishing this year and what to expect for the rest of the season.

This week's episode, I talk about fishing the sedge at night. I fished Lough Arrow with local angler Paul Colreavy in search of the Peter and Murrough. Sport was slow but enjoyable. I share tips on achieving success with the sedge, including patterns and techniques for the coming weeks.

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.

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.

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.

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!
