The 2024 salmon season is well under way and we're waiting for the grilse run, but having spoken to anglers around the country it appears that numbers are still down and following a similar path to 2023.   However, if you’ve been despondent and down in the dumps about the salmon, fear not, for this week’s guest, Sean McLaughlin, who is a salmon angler based outside Derry and a Loop Tackle ambassador, is here to put some positivity and hope back into the season.   He gives us reasons why we should remain optimistic and eternally hopeful and always enjoy our salmon fishing, no matter what.   ‘Never stop in search of happiness,’ as Sean tells us.     You can follow Sean at: https://www.instagram.com/sean_mclaughlin21/ https://www.youtube.com/@seanmclaughlin5258    Rate, review and follow the show to keep up to date with all the latest Ireland on the Fly episodes on Apple or Spotify, plus you can sign up for our newsletter on IrelandontheFly.com and get regular updates on Instagram.com/IrelandontheFly.
