This week on Ireland on the Fly we’re turning our attention to the famous River Slaney.     The river that was once the doyen of spring salmon rivers in Ireland has suffered more than most in recent times but there are still anglers and custodians of the Slaney that are fighting to keep it going and recover.    And to hear more about their work as well as those halcyon days, we’re joined by Richard Burgess, former chairman of the Slaney River Trust. Plus, Tom was a recent guest speaker at the illustrious Fly Fishers’ Club in London and he gives some insights into its hallowed halls and collections.
