Ken Whelan & Jason O’Riordan in conjunction with Delphi Resort (www.delphiresort.com)
I’m delighted to confirm that I’ve joined forces with Delphi Resort (www.delphiresort.com) to run a series of Angling and Watercraft Courses. The first course will be a salmon angling course for beginners and improvers on the River Erriff at Aasleagh Lodge, over the weekend: April 22nd to 24th. This will be a residential course and will give participant’s access to this famous salmon river for two full days in spring.
It will be a great pleasure for me to find myself back working on the Erriff, as I was part of the Central Fisheries Board team that purchased the river from Lord Brabourne in 1982. I subsequently surveyed the river and established a sea trout and salmon research programme, which has recently been greatly expanded by my colleagues in IFI.
Other courses to follow later in the season on the Rye Water and the River Slaney to follow – 1st May (River Trout: Match the Hatch) and 23rd and 24th July (River & Night Fishing for Sea Trout)
Tight lines for 2016!
Ken
