SHUCK RAIDER

Absolutely, the Irish white trout angler's bible. I've fished most of the Connemara loughs in the book, Costelloe and Fermoyle are (were?) great but my fave is Delphi. I met the old codger there way back in the Sixties, he was well-stricken in years by then but still a civil old gent who had a kind word for a know-it-all teenager :D

I love his fly patterns, he was very analytical in his approach, 'specially with the Bumbles series. I'll be tying some of them at the Irish Fly Fair in Galway in a couple of weeks, drop by if you're interested or if you wanta yarn about K-M or the book

Really great flydressers attending, some of those Dutch guys are incredible and one or two of the English and Scottish fellas aren't bad either :augie Mind you, there's the cream of the Irish lads there as well :thumb

My bio here, stop by and say hello if you're attending
 
hope you had a good time

Wen't into the place on Sunday, my youse was busy.

It was a great show Josey, attendance around 5000 over the two days. I was worked off me feet but sure that's what it was all about. Makes a nice change for a big event to be in the West for once instead of Dublin and the Midlands. Looks like it's a runner again for next year too :thumb2
