Posted in: Fishing|By: Judd Ruane|March 30, 2016

I’m Back – Sea Trout on the Moy – End of Season Report

Posted in: Fishing|By: Judd Ruane|November 20, 2012

Well it’s being awhile and another season has come and gone. A good season at that too… probably the best for some twenty years. Good runs of healthy sea trout produced fine catches of quality fish. However, the unpredictable weather produced high water levels on and off through the season which meant I had to …

Posted in: Fishing|By: Judd Ruane|April 28, 2012

Let me tell you about Pearse… I became aware of Pearse at a young age and eventually got to know him when he started to frequent my pub back in ’73. He was a right good character and everyone in town knew him. He rubbed shoulders with the rich, the famous and the not so …
