<p>Stan Headley is a fly angler and fly tyer who would be known to so many people in Ireland and the UK. A regular contributor to Trout & Salmon magazine down through the years, the Orkney angler also penned three books - The Loch Fishers Bible, Trout & Salmon Flies of Scotland and Reflections on the Loch which became the go to source for Scottish loughs fishing – but he was also a fan of fishing in Ireland too and was a regular visitor to these shores.</p><p> </p><p>However, due to illness, Stan’s says that his fishing days are now behind him and so this week’s interview with him is one tinged with sadness but also fond memories as he joins us to look back on an incredible life in fly fishing, what it meant to him and the similarities and differences between Irish loughs' and Scottish lochs' fishing.</p><p>Keep up to date with all the latest Ireland on the Fly on <a href="https://www.irelandonthefly.com/">https://www.IrelandontheFly.com</a> and get regular updates on <a href="https://instagram.com/IrelandontheFly">https://Instagram.com/IrelandontheFly</a>.</p>

<p>This week it’s a book club episode with Patsy Peril, who co-wrote (with Deirdre Nuttall) ‘Swimming Upstream: one man’s fight to save the Atlantic salmon’.</p><p> </p><p>It’s a fascinating memoir about the life of a netsman on the River Shannon. Patsy talks to us about the importance of the salmon to the communities and villages along the Shannon and how the building of Ardnacrusha decimated a way of life for so many.</p><p> </p><p>He talks about his work as a netsman and the increasingly difficult years, dealing with industrialisation, pollution, salmon farms and overfishing which led to the decline of salmon numbers before his eyes.</p><p> </p><p>But he also details his efforts to fight for the salmon and a friendship with the lifelong wild salmon campaigner, Orri Vigfússon, that developed along the way.</p><p> </p><p>‘Swimming Upstream: one man’s fight to save the Atlantic salmon’ is available in all good bookshops.</p><p> </p><p> Keep up to date with all the latest Ireland on the Fly on <a href="https://www.irelandonthefly.com/">https://www.IrelandontheFly.com</a> and get regular updates on <a href="https://instagram.com/IrelandontheFly">https://Instagram.com/IrelandontheFly</a>.</p>
