For Daire & Tom’s latest bucket list episode, they catch up with Galway man, Ronan Creane, whose love of fly fishing and big brown trout led him to New Zealand where he hasn’t left and is now firmly established as a full time guide during the season.
The Bucket List #2: New Zealand on the Fly
So just what is the life of a guide really like on some of the finest brown trout waters in the world and does he miss the Irish fishing at all?
Ronan discusses the sight fishing on the rivers, the need for speed in one’s casting and why the lakes are an untapped resource that deserve more time from any visiting angler.
The mayfly is up!
Also on the episode, Tom talks about the expectations of the coming week for the mayfly on Lough Corrib, why the jungle drums are starting to beat and we will be hearing those immortal four words, ‘the mayfly is up’ very shortly.
