Mon 12 Dec 2009Fishing on the fly
ANGLING NOTES:WITH THE growth in the number of put-and-take fisheries in this country, it is now possible to continue the art of fly-fishing all year round. Almost all counties have at least one fishery up and running – indeed, in Co Wicklow there are four facilities, each providing excellent rainbow fishing.
While the Fisheries Act of 1959 calls for a close season on brown trout to allow for spawning fish – usually from October to February each year – it is assumed rainbows do not breed and therefore a close season is not required.
