Trout & Salmon
|January 2018
The strangest things can inspire us to tie a fly, writes Ross Macdonald.
FLY-TYERS ARE AN odd bunch. Imagining new flies – and how to apply new materials – is a full-time obsession. Many flies turn out to be rubbish. I’ve certainly created several “innovations” that will remain in my workshop, never to see the light of day. But every now and then, in keeping with the infinite monkey theorem about monkeys at typewriters eventually writing Shakespeare, we produce something that makes it out of the vice and on to the water.

River Blackwater
THE BLACKWATER rises in the boglands of County Kerry, and although the peaty tinge it carries gives rise to its name it also flows through limestone and that helps it to support a diverse range of fly-life which provides plenty of sustenance for salmon parr and trout. The river is one of Ireland’s most productive salmon fisheries, along with the River Moy.
