Robert Gillespie and why casting is the fishing

Apologies for the radio silence in June and July which was due to an illness.

However, Ireland on the Fly is back up and running covering the people and places about fly fishing in Ireland. 

This week’s guest is someone I’ve wanted to speak to for a while.

Robert Gillespie is an incredibly experienced salmon angler and instructor and having read his articles on his website RobertGillespie.Net, the depth of information and thinking that he brings to the sport is incredible.

He’s someone to listen and learn from.

For this episode we go into detail about Robert’s background and career and focus on casting matters, philosophy and approach and Robert tells me why he believes that the casting really is the fishing…..

You can also get in touch with Robert for casting lessons on [e-mail].
