Paddy Dunworth of Celtic Angling stories from the Maigue:
Florida primarily based Invoice and Patti Martin are on a forty fifth wedding ceremony anniversary celebration break in Eire, a really lively couple, they teed off at Ballybunion golf membership on Monday simply after 8am, then on to Adare and after rapidly reserving into the Dunraven Arms met me for a late afternoon session on the Maigue at 3pm. They have been refreshingly sincere of their admission of newbie standing and have been a pleasure to information, the solar shone for them and the trout actually pulled collectively to make their fishing in Adare memorable, my photographs inform the story.
On Wednesday final week, New Brunswick Canadian Douglas French joined me on the River Maigue at Adare, and while he’s fished for salmon again dwelling, he by no means fly-fished for brown trout. With summer time ranges now a function and weeds beginning to present it’s actually not sensible to fish conventional wet-fly throughout and downriver. Fly-fishing down is entry-level fishing and relatively straightforward, high-summer fly-fishing upstream in low, clear, weeded waters and doing so with dry-fly to ultra-shy wild brown trout in closely overgrown surrounds is on a special scale completely. We received across the low water by timing our wet-fly session to start because the backwater at Adare was ebbing, this afforded us 2hrs+ of good water and our rookie trouter Doug took full benefit. He had as much as 10 fish, two very good takeable ones, misplaced as many extra and was thrilled together with his day. All fish fastidiously launched.
Go fishing…
