While we’re into February and slowly the season is beginning to come to life, you may not have much of a chance to wet a line in the coming weeks so have you thought about building your own fly rod?
Brian Martin is a Fermanagh angler based in Galway who last year set himself the goal of doing just that and as he explains on this week’s Ireland on the Fly, it’s actually not that difficult and he encourages any fly angler to give it a try.
If you’ve been dreaming of a specific rod for your own fly fishing needs, then maybe you won’t have to shell out a fortune for a branded one and could actually build one yourself.
Plus, Brian also tells us about his love of dry fly fishing and the incredible migratory lake brown trout that he targets during the summer months.
