Sally Barnes is a remarkable woman who has been at the forefront of the Irish artisan food revolution since the 1980s, when she first started smoking wild salmon.
But what has a smoker got to do with fly fishing? Sally, who has been married to a fisherman, and lives on the west Cork coast, has seen and experienced first-hand the decline the Atlantic salmon has undergone in modern times.
Sally’s story is a remarkable one, and her insights are perceptive and well worth listening to for anyone concerned about our changing environment and its effects on the Atlantic salmon.
