Ireland on the Fly

For this week's Ireland on the Fly we’re joined by Darius Simkus, who only started fly fishing after he moved to Ireland from Lithuania and within a few years he was fishing for Ireland, winning national titles and is the 2023 captain of the ITFFA Irish rivers team.
 
Darius tells us why competition fishing is so important to him, how he learned so much through self-belief and learning on the water himself, plus he has some useful tactics and tips for river fishing at this time of year and discusses the difficulties and intricacies of fly fishing on rivers v loughs.
