Book Club Ep #3: Dan O’Donovan & the Salmon of the River Lee

We’re into February, spring is in the air and slowly the season is starting to kick into gear.  Stay tuned in the coming weeks as we get updates on the salmon rivers and loughs around Ireland and we’ll be bringing you more tips and information for getting the most out of your fly fishing as the season progresses.

For our latest episode we’re continuing our fly fishing book club and this time we speak to Dan O’Donovan, the author of Salmon of the River Lee as well as a monograph on Sidney Spencer.

Dan’s book on the Lee is a fascinating social and cultural insight into the communities around Cork’s famous river and we delve into the heyday of the Lee before its damming in 1957 and the effects that has had on the fishing, the people and the subsequent decline in fish numbers as well.
