Successful Salmon Fly Fishing Course

This course will take place at the fantastic Ballyduff Bridge Fishery (River Blackwater) on Sunday May 18th 2014 at 9.30am.  I will be joined on this course by legendary Blackwater Salmon Guide and renowned Spey Caster Conie Corcoran.  I doubt anyone knows as much as Conie about salmon fishing on the River Blackwater.

A nice take and lift into the fish.
