The Story of the Railway Fishery Part 1

We're into the last week of January and with still no news of a first salmon of the season caught, for this week's episode of Ireland on the Fly we're stepping back to bring you a documentary about the story of Blackwater Lodge.
When the old Ballyduff Railway station was closed in 1967, it was to enjoy a remarkable second life as a salmon fishing lodge when Ian Powell bought the building and salmon beats on the Blackwater.
This is story of the journey to make a fly fishing dream happen.
