In one of our interviews we are joined by Michael Sheehan who talks about Ireland’s largest recorded salmon.

This month we are going to meet some of our members in Hyde Park in London on 23rd November at the Speke Monument from noon to 2pm to have a chat and some casting practice. Also we will hold a meet in the Netherlands in early December and plan to meet at Kilmurry on the River Blackwater on 9th December for some casting tuition.  All these events are included in the cost of your membership and hope some of our members can attend. We are also holding a Zoom meeting on the 2nd December at 7pm.

Each month there are 5 sections that cover fly fishing and there are always interesting interviews with people in our industry, places of interest of where to fish, and also tuition videos from myself and others.  We often have one piece on food of the area we are visiting and another piece of interest from the locality.  I am always at the end of the phone or email to help in whatever questions you may have about learning, techniques and tackle advice or simply to have a chat.  The cost of membership is €36 per year.
