A Quest for Salmon with Glenda Powell. Salmon Lure & Fly Fishing Ireland.

Salmon fishing in Ireland was something I wanted to do for a long time, but didn't know how to crack that art of fishing for salmon with lures, fly or bait. While salmon fishing can be excellent, if you one hasn't done that type of angling, it can be a daunting exercise to get your head around it. Hence, while I eventually decided to ask Glenda Powell of Cork Blackwater for help in catching my very first salmon (Thanks Glenda!!). 2021 salmon season has just begun and I can't wait to catch my first salmon of 2021.
The quest was longer than I initially expected it to be. Involved fishing the Blackwater, Moy and River Feale, but I eventually managed to succeed, not only catching 2 salmon, but also learning salmon fly fishing and getting them on the fly! I learned fishing with double handed spey rod and spey casting basics. The one I was using in the video is called double spey cast.
In this video, I show you the quest, the success and give you tips I learned along the way.
Enjoy the Video & Tight Lines 🎣🎣

Iv got membership for the blackwater, my first trip I spent 6 hours spinning on the river “I do a lot of bass fishing” and got nothing as I now know the water was to clear, I’m getting a fly rod after watching your video, il have much more confidence now, thanks!

[@MarcinKantor]

started the same myself. It was summer, low water, I was spinning blanking, guys around me catching on tiny flies. No more, now I am on the right side of the fence lol

[@TheDuffman1986]

Could you please tell me what fly set up you have? I find there’s a lot to choose from and Iv no experience! Thanks !
