    Hi, just looking for some advice. My husband wants to try fly fishing and I was hoping to get him a lesson for his birthday in May. We live in Galway, but was thinking either Mayo area or Cork, we could make a weekend of it. Does anyone know somewhere that does it, and approx cost?? Also I have no idea, is this the time of year for fly fishing??? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
    THanks

    There are a few in cork that do it
    Glenda Powell on the blackwater river is one she is about 20 mins from fermoy
    You can look up blackwater lodge and contact her
    Another is a lad called Kieran conlon, he is based in cork city he has a blog you can look up just type in speyguide in google and you should find it
    If you can't find them let me know and I will get their phone numbers for you

    As a local alternative Renvyle House does a Fly Fishing weekend that is run by Hardy Grey instructors and they cater for beginners and experienced anglers alike. This year it's on the 11th and 12th April and is normally great fun and if you are a non-angler it's not the worst place in the world to be stuck :D
