Occasional Fallon's Angler contributor Daire Whelan has launched a new podcast called Ireland on the fly, The Future & Tradition of Fly Fishing in Ireland.

Ep #5: The Beginnings of Delphi
Peter Mantle, the man who set up the modern-day Delphi Lodge fishery in Connemara is the latest guest on the Ireland on the Fly podcast.'I'd passed a test. They'd decided I wasn't going to murder them, nor steal their Optonics in the night. Over tea, it transpired they encountered more trouble and abuse than me, everywhere they fished.'
Dexter Petley recounts the surreal and unexplained, in his own, unique style. Read his words in Issue 18 of Fallon's Angler.
