The river Nair that we're on here today, it's one of our main rivers that we guide on.
It's got an abundance of beautiful wild brown trout.
We've been operating catch and release on the river for, I suppose, about 20 years.
As a result of that, we've got some excellent fishing that may be difficult to catch, but
the fishing itself is superb.
The Nair itself is a tributary of the River Shure.
It's the second longest river in Ireland.
It's a famed river for its dry fly fishing, superb hatches, various different mayflies,
bluing dollops, large dark dollops and a huge hatch of sedges.
Fishing itself, as I say, it's not an easy type of fishing, but it's a very rewarding
fishing to beautiful brown trout in fast flowing rivers.
They're excellent to catch.
They're a challenge, but that's what fly fishing is about.
I think if it's too easy, nobody's going to be happy doing it.
Connor and I, the two of us are working as fishing guides, and it's nice today we're
out.
We're doing a bit of fishing.
He's been spotting fish for me, and he's spotted fish in spots I didn't know where
they were, and I've been spotting a few fish for him, and we've had an absolutely fantastic
day in the river.
We're targeting wild brown trout, specifically large wild brown trout, sight fishing for
these in crystal clear water, very, very demanding, but highly rewarding.
It's all about trying to achieve natural presentation in very tricky conditions.
I mean, I've been doing this for 20 odd years.
It's an absolute dream job, fantastic to be working and guiding on these rivers.
We're now built up to have quite a number of guides working in our business, so we cater
for a lot of American clients, clients from all over Europe, and they seem to love the
fishing here.
They're very fortunate.
Thank you.
