Paddy Dunworth of Celtic Angling in Limerick hosted three young ladies from across the pond for an Intro to Fly-fishing on the Maigue recently, here is his report:
I was joined by three delightful young ladies from the USA this week – they are here at University of Limerick for a short time. Last year I had three lads fishing who were on a similar initiative.
It was lovely day to be out, with dry, warm conditions, and the river was in great fettle with good fresh water levels combining with the tide to ensure a lengthy ebb.
Ava, Anna and Aquarius, whom I’ve dubbed the A-Team (though it’s possible they never heard of the A-Team, one needs to be of a certain vintage!) were genuinely interested in learning how to cast and fish the fly. With some basic tuition, the ladies were casting decent lines after an hour and the trout started to hit soon after, my photos tell the story.
All fish released with care.
