George Kavanagh and appreciating what you have on your doorstep

Description
So, that’s pretty much it for the season for brown trout, sea trout and salmon fly anglers.  Currane, Sheelin and a few other lakes are still open until October 12th but for the vast majority of you the rods are being put away for the winter.   Over the coming weeks we’ll be reviewing how the season went on the rivers and loughs around Ireland for salmon and brown trout so stay tuned for those episodes…   But this week we catch up with a salmon angler who moved over from England just three years ago and discovered salmon fishing that he is in thrall to.  You might have seen some of George Kavanagh’s incredible images from the Suir on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/george.kavanagh.58) and it was no surprise to learn that George is a commercial photographer who has worked all around the world on shoots.   Salmon fishing is his other passion though and the recent move to Ireland opened his eyes to the salmon fishing that was on his doorstep.  Sometimes it takes someone to come in from elsewhere to maybe make us appreciate what we actually have here……   Keep up to date with all the latest Ireland on the Fly on https://www.IrelandontheFly.com and get regular updates on https://Instagram.com/IrelandontheFly.
