Polished and muscular and torsional. On their backs were vermiculate patterns that were maps of the world in its becoming. Maps and mazes. Of a thing which could not be put back. Not be made right again. In the deep glens where they lived all things were older than man and they hummed of mystery.

Never notice how the time slips away
People come…seasons go…

Made over five days during the difficult season of 2013 with Holger, Holger and Markus. A nice experience working with down to earth capable anglers who seemed really to enjoy the opportunity to simply be out there and doing it.
For me I felt the pressure knowing what a difficult season it had been and hoping that the systems might perform just to show case a little of the Irish saltwater sport fishing perspective and potential.
The harder you work the luckier you get I hear!
Spring is fast approaching. With the days getting longer and grey cold January and February slowly being left behind its time to start thinking about getting out there!
Within the next thirty days or so mullet and sea trout will become more accessible to us, and indeed in some locations in Ireland we are already having some success, provided the weather stays kind of course. Of course we are holding our breaths for the return of our spiky friends too.
Brian and I will run combined and blended tying/fishing/guided weekend workshops over the weekends after March 17th up to and including May. There are several options within the workshops, ranging from a one day stop to a three-day adventure!
Workshops are limited to two people only per workshop.
Learn to tie the following flies for your seatrout, mullet and early Spring bass fishing
- Dead drift shrimp
- Mini clouser minnow
- Flatwing fry
- Mini flatwing
- BF herring fry
- Deceivers
And then enjoy being guided to some great locations to fish with your own creations.
I will be posting more details for your available options later this week here on Probassfisher
