About Me

Having been a very keen angler some years ago when I would have been fly fishing two or three times a week and sea angling almost every weekend I lost track of it all what with work and other things life throws at you. Now I'm getting back into it all with as much enthusiasm as I ever had and I hope sharing the experience of it will enlighten, educate and amuse others who may read these pages.

Evening at Killylane








Visited Killylane near dusk for a few throws with the fly. A beautiful evening and very calm.
There was a good hatch terrestrial hawthorn flys along the banks, some of which made it onto the water
just before any wind there was had disappeared. I walked the east bank and saw a fish steadily. Put on a single black hawthorn imitation with a drop of permafloat. Two minutes later he was in the bag.



A nice brownie of 1.75 lbs. which gave a good account of itself.



The wonderful sunset was probably due in part to volcanic ash in the atmosphere
