Casting With Ceri Jones : Ep. 184 Rob Connor

Hi guys, this week's podcast I chat with Irish angler Rob Connor. He has a passion for fishing the midland loughs and tells us about Lough Owel, Ennell and Sheelin. We had a brilliant evening together last month on Sheelin where he had three great fish on dries, we were however blessed with having a great boatman that evening, Ted his collie. With all the modern fly patterns around today it is the traditional Grey Wolf which is Rob's first choice during the spent. He talks also of what to expect the next few weeks including the Murrough and Peter fishing.
