<p>When your school trips involve fishing Lough Melvin and the Kylemore system in Connemara, there is a good chance you might get handy at fishing. </p><p>This was obviously the case with Sammy McGowan and no doubt helped him to burst on to the Irish Team as a 19-year-old on Loch Leven in Scotland. </p><p>Sammy won top Irish rod on this first cap and went on to earn many more international caps while still in his twenties. </p><p>Hailing from Co. Down, Sammy is well known on the Irish fly fishing scene. He took a step back for a while from the competition fishing in latter years but hopes to get back to it again. </p><p>Sammy turned his attention to dying and sourcing fly tying materials. In what started out as a hobby, it grew and grew for him and since Covid, has now become his main job, running his business, Irish Fly Supplies. For more, visit <a href="https://irish-fly-supplies.square.site/">https://irish-fly-supplies.square.site/</a></p><p>For this episode Tom is joined by Mike Keady and they look back at how the mayfly fared, and talk to Sammy about his early years, competition fishing, fly tying materials, his love of Lough Neagh and, very interestingly, a Pink Flamingo which has nothing to do with fly-tying materials!</p><p> </p><p>Keep up to date with all the latest Ireland on the Fly on:<br><a href="https://instagram.com/IrelandontheFly">https://Instagram.com/IrelandontheFly</a>.</p><p><a href="https://www.irelandonthefly.com/">https://www.irelandonthefly.com/</a></p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100089135445929">https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100089135445929</a></p><p> </p>

<p>Brendan Garland is a committed salmon angler; a late arrival to the party, he has put more in the twenty years he has been salmon fishing than many of us will put in over a lifetime of angling. </p><p>After a misspent period of chasing golf balls around courses, Brendan switched to salmon angling after coming across a promotional flyer while playing golf in Mayo in the 2000s and he has never looked back. </p><p>He has fished extensively in pursuit of salmon both in Ireland and abroad.</p><p><br>Some of our listeners may know him from his blogs both on Instagram and TikTok and he also has his own YouTube channel. Currently he is on a mission to show 365 takes that he has recorded in his salmon fishing journey.</p><p>A highly analytical and patient angler, he talks of different methods of approach when faced with differing conditions.</p><p><br>Tom is also joined by Garrett Ruigrok as co-presenter on this episode.</p><p> </p><p>You can follow Brendan on:</p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/brendan.garland.33">https://www.facebook.com/brendan.garland.33</a></p><p><a href="https://www.Instagram.com/brendanmgarland">https://www.Instagram.com/brendanmgarland</a></p><p><a href="https://www.TikTok.com/flytyguy">https://www.tiktok.com/@flytyguy</a></p><p> </p><p>Keep up to date with all the latest Ireland on the Fly on: <br><a href="https://instagram.com/IrelandontheFly">https://Instagram.com/IrelandontheFly</a>.</p><p><a href="https://www.irelandonthefly.com/">https://www.irelandonthefly.com/</a></p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100089135445929">https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100089135445929</a></p>

<p>With the trout season for 2026 very much underway, it has, so far, been a start stop affair. This spring has brought us a lot of high winds and temperatures have struggled to get into double figures for the most part. The bad weather has prevented a lot of anglers getting out. However, good things come to those who wait and, with an upturn in the weather forecast, things are on the up.</p><p>This latest episode sees Tom joined by Mike Keady for his first stint as co-presenter on the show. Mike has been a regular guest on Ireland on the Fly and will be well known to our regular listeners, he will be joining us for the trout episodes.</p><p>The guys are joined by another friend of the show, Jackie Mahon. Jackie is one of the top guides in the country, working mainly on the North Western Loughs of Ireland. </p><p>We asked Jackie how it has been so far for him this season and what his plans are up until the end of June. He tells us of Loughs Arrow, Erne and Melvin, when and how he approaches them and also touches a bit on sea trout as well. As ever with most of us anglers, he has high hopes for the season ahead!</p><p>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.</p>
