If you’re lucky enough to be heading out during the last 12 days of fly fishing in October on Currane, Ennell, Leane, Owel or Sheelin, tight lines to you and don’t forget to listen back to our recent episode with Denis Goulding who has some great advice for fishing the midland lakes at this time of year.
But for those of us forced to hang up the trout and salmon rods, you may be thinking of some pike on the fly action to keep you from the DTs and so for this week’s episode, we speak to pike on the fly guide, Stuart Wylie, to find out more and to help get you started as we head into the winter period.
