This is my record of my trips fly fishing on the River Sullane in County Cork, Ireland. I recently moved to Cork and the wonderful river running through here has fired my enthusiasm for fishing again. This is the first river I have ever fly fished so it all new ground for me, i don’t claim to have any special knowledge or skill but I am enjoying splashing about and scaring the fish away but I have caught a few as well.

thanks for reading my mutterings, and your kind words of encouragement. I’ve just read through your blog and enjoyed every post – please keep ‘em coming.
I’m adding you to the fishing section of my blog roll, hope that’s OK.
All the best
SBW
Thanks SBW,
Great site you have, still working my way through your posts and the many links.
Thanks for the link on your blogroll, I have returned the favour.
David.
Dear Fellow Fly Fishing Blogger,
Our team behind the creation of Dry Fly Media (www.dryflymedia.com) would love to get your opinion on a very interesting DVD series we’ve just produced – our Rivers in Motion series. Some of us involved in this project also run a fly fishing blog from Bozeman – Best Fly Fishing Yellowstone.
The Rivers in Motion DVDs are collections of river scenes from five of the iconic rivers of southwest Montana and Idaho – the Madison, Yellowstone, Henry’s Fork, Gallatin, and Missouri. There are from 10 to 12 river scenes on each DVD, and the total footage runs from 77 to 86 minutes. The rivers themselves and the surrounding vistas are the “stars of the show”; these are not about fly fishermen fishing – but about the sights and sounds of the rivers.
We’ve been amazed at how our friends here in Bozeman have been using the DVDs – besides relaxing at home after a work day in the real world; they’re playing them at work, at school, during dinner, and while getting together with friends. One friend even plays them while traveling and judges the length of flights by how many rivers he can relax to now.
We would very much like to send you a free DVD from our Rivers in Motion series and see what you think. Please email Jess at jess@dryflymedia.com with your mailing address and a choice of one of the five rivers, and we’ll get the DVD out quickly.
We have greatly enjoyed being a part of the fly fishing blog-o-sphere for the past 18 months, and have finally realized we have been sadly remiss in one important matter: a blogroll. We are in the midst of adding a blogroll to the Best Fly Fishing Yellowstone and Dry Fly Media sites – we’d love to put a link up to your site if that’s OK with you.
Many thanks,
The Dry Fly Media Team
“Fly Fishing in West Cork” is such a wonderful accidental web discovery – please keep up the great work (as long as the task doesn’t cut into your angling time!)
Fly fishing here in the southeasternmost corner of Miami just north of the upper Florida Keys in a very different endeavor, of course, than in West Cork – salt versus sweet water, tropical versus temperate conditions etc.
But it’s terrific to be reassured by your blog that enthusiasm for the casting calling transcends geographic boundaries. And none of that heartening would have been possible if a Daddy-of-four chronicler who is as skillful a wordsmith as you are hadn’t begun pecking on a keyboard or pushing a pen around on paper.
Thanks for your efforts & thank your lads for sharing their father’s insight & good nature with us.
I’m a transplant to this Caribean capital-in-exile, so I’ll leave you w/ an Appalachian fisherman’s blessing from the Kentucky-Tennessee-West Virginia area I hail from originally.
May y’all-ways snap to tight lines real quick each time you fling bugs at swimmers.

Hey Bob, that’s about the nicest thing that has been said to me in a long while. I am still very much a newcomer to this blog thing but enjoying it. The fishing does not eat into the blogging as much as the four young sons do, the older they get the more I feel like a taxi service.
The fishing season has started a few days ago but I have not found time yet to go flick a line, roll on those evenings where it doesn’t darken untill 10.30 pm.
Are you a blogger yourself and if so please post your site details. David.
Hi, excelent fishing page. I’m from Rio Negro, Patagonia, Argentina. I would i could fish in your country. My best regards, Nicolas
