Nice going Paul some nice fish there. My friend wants to start fly fishing for Rainbow trout in lakes in Wicklow, could you recommend a good rod and reel that won't break the bank thanks Paul. Anto.
Hi Anto, there are some really good quality cheap rods and reels around at the moment, Airflo are probably the best priced for that market and they have good fly lines as well. Starting out a 6/7 weight outfit would be ideal for rainbows with a floating line and a DI3 sinking line which will cover most of your fishing needs for stockies. There is more information on my www.rainbowtroutfishingireland.blogspot .com blog .
+Keith Dennehy Thanks Keith, the rod is good but the dedicated oracle switch line isn't working out so i will have to cut and shorten it so that it can carry the sink tips but at the moment its very lack lustre and you have to push the rod to turn over the tips. The video on switch rods and lines plus my set ups for salmon fishing will be up soon but only available to my subscribers, i will send you the link when it's ready so you can view it for yourself.
+john oleary Hi John, that was a good days fishing by any standards, its a nice lake with good scenery, i will be back in November for another session.

Hi can you fish from the bank using lures and do you need a permit
Yes you need a fishing permit and as far as I know it's fly fishing only.
