Jason O’Riordan of South East Game Angling visited Ardaire Springs Fishery in Mooncoin, Co. Kilkenny on January 4th and tells us “A lot of methods work at Ardaire. If fish are rising small black dries. Weighted nymphs and bloodworm fished in slowly and of course lures on a very fast sinking line. Be sure to bring 2 rods if you can. 1 for surface and the other set up with a very fast sink.”
