FLY- OUTFIT HIRE

CASTLE RENTAL

                Transport - I collect if clients are staying locally or you can rendezvous at Adare and travel to fishing with me. I don't normally transfer clients who are staying in Limerick city                                                                                       due to traffic and time constraints which can entail 4 one-way trips averaging 30mins at peak times. 

NB When advising Paddy of your fly-fishing skill-level please be honest and realistic, if you just have downstream fishing skills (Swinging wet flies) please say so, do not assume you can master the more advanced upstream dry-fly or nymph approach as they are a world apart, properly presented upstream fly-fishing is a huge step-up from entry-level downstream fly-fishing and is a skill perfected over time. This matters as it helps choose a location to match your skill-level, we could lose an hour switching venues if you overestimate your experience or skill-level.

NB - For beginners or novice fly-fishers we fish the user-friendly section of the Maigue at Adare, my other river beats are only for fly-fishers with advanced fly-fishing skills.

Please be aware that Fly-fishing here is on naturally wild rivers and rough terrain and mostly involves wading rough and fast runs so a good degree of physicality and mobility is involved .

 NB : June to Sept can see very dry conditions/low and clear water levels/ weeds, challenging fly fishing, especially during daytime, success is related to ability so advanced upstream

           dry-fly fishing skills desirable.  It may be better to opt for a half day option as a full day can be trying under such conditions, particularly for those lacking advanced skills.

  Advanced skills means many years experience with upriver dry-fly/nymph, delicate, precise fly presentation whilst wading upriver towards easily-spooked native/wild browns, see waters link above.
