Description
The Owenmore Fishery has been in the news recently with the State buying up the river and lands that are situated on the Dingle peninsula in Kerry.   So what does the future hold for the fishery and what is the fishing like on the river and lakes in one of Ireland’s most scenic locations?   Frank Maunsell has been the fishery manager there for over a quarter of a century and he joins us on this week’s show with tales of poachers, fishing and tactics that you’d scarcely believe but are well worth listening to…..   We’ve also had many people get in touch about last week’s episode with Rory Harkin of Rory’s Tackle shop in Temple Bar – especially their cult t-shirts - and Rory’s have kindly given us 5 t-shirts and baseball caps to give away so just listen to this week’s episode for the question and email the answer to [email protected] to be in with a chance of winning.   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.
