As one of Ireland's premier wild brown trout loughs, Lough Arrow is a very special fishery. There are few like it anywhere else in the world. As Tom and Jackie fish through the day they talk about their fly choices, fly lines, the drifts they run, where they expect to find fish, fish behavior, and a whole lot more about fishing for wild brown trout. Between the two of them they have many decades of experience fishing on Ireland's Loughs.
