Waders: We supply nylon/pvc waist or chest waders, should you wish bring your own breathable waders.
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.
I decided to discontinue Salmon guiding as many local Salmon waters are closed due to poor fishery management, declining stocks and unpredictable water levels. However.........

Should weather conditions render rivers flooded or too dangerous to fish around your date then No Fishing-No Fee applies. Health and safety is paramount and Paddy will make a call and advise you asap based on prevailing or forecasted conditions.
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 terrain and mostly involves wading rough and fast runs so a good degree of physicality and mobility is involved .
