A Newfoundland Adventure
When Danish angler Jesper Fohrmann was a child, he had the book The Atlantic Salmon by Lee Wulff on the shelf next to Batman and Donald Duck. Ever since then he dreamed of one day visiting the rivers that Lee Wulff fished.
The dream finally came true.

Mart's Peccary Paraloop Emerger
This emerger is great for smaller, slower streams and has proven a very successful pattern for the author. It's tied the paraloop way with no hackle under the hook.

Summer casting party
Sunshine, lots of fly rods, a large grass lawn, good company and sausages on the barbecue. What's not to like?

Irish Lough Conn is a huge lake full of wild trout and a very decent number of salmon. Fishing in it is free, and can be fantastic. And the Kelly Kettle was born on its banks.
Find here a story from this beautiful lake and some facts on fishing it.
