Casting With Ceri Jones : Ep. 184 Rob Connor

Ceri Jones

Hi guys, this week's podcast I chat with Irish angler Rob Connor. He has a passion for fishing the midland loughs and tells us about Lough Owel, Ennell and Sheelin. We had a brilliant evening together last month on Sheelin where he had three great fish on dries, we were however blessed with having a great boatman that evening, Ted his collie. With all the modern fly patterns around today it is the traditional Grey Wolf which is Rob's first choice during the spent. He talks also of what to expect the next few weeks including the Murrough and Peter fishing.

This week I tell of my recent days on Lough Sheelin and the incredible hatches of Mayfly and the Murrough. I chat with Kevin Sheridan while having a bite and a cuppa at the lakeshore and he tells of the cycle of the Mayfly and the frustrating nights waiting for the spent. The second part of this episode I tell of my day with Gerry McCarthy where the plan eventually came together and we had some great sport. A very special lake. Enjoy!

This week's episode I chat with Finian Dodd. He was born on the shores of Lough Arrow at Ballindoon, and still lives there today. He has fished the lough since he was a small boy and today runs a successful boat hire with a fleet of a dozen boats. Not only is Finian an experienced angler he has vast knowledge of the history of Arrow and tells of stories of the families which lived on the islands. Even though the Mayfly has finished he tells of the sedges including the Green Peter and the Murrough which will draw the anglers to the magical water next month.

This week's episode I meet up with Doolin angler, Dave Egan. We met up and recorded our chat after a day on Lough Corrib while parked up at Balinduff Bay. He tells of his day taking 16 fish to the boat while fishing with his boat partner, Gerry. Dave needs no introduction on the Irish competition scene having achieved many titles including National Champion on his first attempt and Brown Bowl winner at the 2018 international on Lough Mask. He tells of his success in recent weeks and says its the best May he has experienced. Catching on buzzers, olives and Mayfly and already looking forward to next month fishing the caenis. He is one of the most passionate anglers I've met and probably has Corrib water running through his veins.

We chatted for a couple of hours so enough content for another episode, will put up part 2 soon. Dave is a mine of information and for anyone fishing Corrib this is a must listen to podcast, enjoy!

This week’s episode I chat with Lough Corrib expert Ted Wherry. I meet up with him for a few hours as he takes me out on his boat. The fishing was tough with only a few Mayfly coming off but managed to get a few fish. We fish around Ballynanty Bay and surrounding islands and talks of the drifts, the ECA and some funny stories thrown in.

This week I had an amazing few days on the Corrib at Portacarron Bay. I talk of my experience, the conditions, tactics and flies used. I caught all my fish on a fly given to me by professional tyer Jimmy Tyrrell, a deadly detached body mayfly. All fish were from 2.5lb to just under 6lb. Enjoy!
