Rory's.  It’s a famous name with a famous owner, Rory Harkin, of Rory’s Tackle Shop in Temple Bar in Dublin.   But did you know it opened its doors in 1959 when there were just warehouses around the area and trout and salmon could be caught by the bucketful within Dublin’s environs?   Rory Harkin may have passed on the running of the shop to his daughter Mary but he joins us this week to talk about his love of fly fishing, meeting and fishing with so many household names – including Charles Ritz, Hugh Falkus and Kingsmill Moore - and why the shop was always about more than just selling rods…..     Rate, review and follow the show to keep up to date with all the latest Ireland on the Fly episodes on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.    Plus you can sign up for our newsletter on IrelandontheFly.com and get regular updates on Instagram.com/IrelandontheFly. A Salmon Masterclass with Paddy McDonnell Paddy McDonnell is perhaps Ireland's most well-known salmon guide and instructor.  Born near the famed River Moy, Paddy had already caught thousands of salmon by his 20s and has dedicated his life to helping others catch salmon on the rivers and lakes on the west coast of Ireland. For this Masterclass, Paddy McDonnell will be sitting down with Ireland on the Fly presenters, Tom Doc Sullivan and Daire Whelan, with tips and advice to catch more salmon this season. With a focus on summer salmon and dealing with difficult conditions, Paddy will explain how to approach a pool, salmon lies and how to read the water, and the importance of creating 'the vulnerable prey image' in the water. Plus, for the second half of the webinar, Paddy will be answering audience questions directly so this is a unique opportunity to have your salmon questions answered by one of the greats of Irish salmon angling.
