I’m heading to Donegal next week on a family holiday. We’re staying close Ballybofey so the Finn, Reelin and Mourne are all close by. I’m hoping some rivers got water over the last few days. My question is what Donegal rivers fish well at this time of year for Salmon or Seatrout? Open to the...

What line should I use to fish a Irish salmon Lough with a double hander/switch rod? I’m fishing Beltra and Carrowmore in Mayo, Ireland. Beltra in particular has some big fish with the possibility of hooking anything up to a 16lb fish. So I need to use a good reel with plenty of backing. I...

Where is this scene? Anyone know where this is. I've seen this print in Delphi Lodge and Inagh Lodge recently. But know one really knows where it is. Is it somewhere near kylemore?

What happened this fish? Caught on the fly on Saturday on the Erriff. At first I thought he was diesiesed but on closer inspection I found all damage to be clean and fairly fresh. Did the fish sustain damage coming up the river in low water or did the fish repeatedly rub himself against a rock...

Fished Lough Beltra on Sunday and had a great day. Lovely mild weather, overcast and just enough wind. My cousin Brian Gannon and I started fishing at 9:00 and I hooked into this fish at 5:30. The fish took a size 8 double Beltra Badger "style" fly. (I'm not familiar with the pattern, I didn't...

Hi. I'm thinking of buying a double hander. Which of the below rods is most suitable for shooting heads. I'd like to stay with as small a rod as I can and I'd like a fast action rod. But what about rod rating, are there line weights which are more suited to shooting heads or are there more...
