Inishdawee and Roeillaun Island in the background

Extract from chapter 22  ’A week on the Corrib‘

“Vic was there and we were sad to see him go. The success of our adventure had rested squarely upon the choice of ghillie, and we had been very fortunate in securing the services of Patrick Molloy. He had been more than a fisherman to us. He had been an alchemist.’” - Jon Berry

Ian Garrett was fishing with boatman Pat Molloy out of Oughterard- “It has been hard fishing all week with the high winds but we had had good fishing on 3 of the days. We were dry fly fishing and caught 21 fish over the 5 days. A lot of people reported not seeing any rises at all but we saw a lot and there were some good fish moving. We caught most fish by covering rises but not many on the blind. The best fish we caught were 2.5lb and 4lb - both on dries and caught by myself.”
