This week we’re finding out about a fly fishing club that bucks the trend and continues to grow its membership.
Kilbride Anglers Club has long been an innovative and forward thinking club since it was first founded in 1940 and its chairman Martin Kearney joins us on this week’s episode to tell us how the club expanded beyond its Liffey waters to the Kells Blackwater as well as having 14 boats around the lakes of Ireland.
But it was a pollution incident on the Kells Blackwater twenty years ago that forced the club into restoration and expanding beyond just its rivers.
