Rory’s. It’s a famous name with a famous owner, Rory Harkin, of Rory’s Tackle Shop in Temple Bar in Dublin.

Rory Harkin may have passed on the running of the shop to his daughter Mary but he joins Tom & Daire on this week’s Ireland on the Fly to talk about his love of fly fishing, meeting and fishing with so many household names – including Charles Ritz, Hugh Falkus and Kingsmill Moore – and why the shop was always about more than just selling rods…
