Interesting how clever these Irish jokes often are! Have had many happy holidays over there but not for some years. Tried fly fishing once and was hopeless. Then an Irishman from the other side of the lake wandered round and asked me to show him my fly. He took it off and gave me one of his and told me to try that. I gave him a swig of Brandy from my hip flask by way of a thank you and we had a good chat then off he went. He never looked back and resumed his very successful casting further round the lake. I had a trout the split second that fly hit the water! It only the worked once and the midges continued to bite me for a few more hours until I decided enough was enough! Still can't work out what happened but he obviously knew his stuff. Cheers, Dave
