Where to start.
A short route through the place itself, the writing, the photographs, and the workshops — built for a first visit.
Work in progress
A book, written in public.
Bass on the fly along the Wexford shoreline — the gullies, the oarweed, the two-hour tidal windows. I’m writing it here as it comes: the pieces, the photographs, and the kind of attention the sea demands.
Forty years on this water. Twelve of them, 2003 to 2014, guiding other people onto it. Saltwater fly fishing · bass behaviour · shoreline ecology · coastal observation.
