An abundance of additional mountain lakes in the region are available for those wanting to travel further afield. {short description of image} "As a woman completely new to angling last year I was amazed how patient and immediately effective Mike's tuition was, so much so that we came back again this year for a week and had a fantastic time. The catch rose from last year, although one fish is still swimming in Barfinnehey Lake with my name on it! As it rose to the fly and I saw it's bulk rise above of the water the shock was such that I stumbled backwards and the line broke with the impact. Although disappointed with the miss it was, perhaps, a better result than for the lady whose surprise prompted her to walk off a rocky promontory in to the lake!! The thrill of landing a big fish and the near miss has meant that I have now become addicted to the challenge of fly fishing and will certainly be back next year with Anglers Paradise Fishing Guides Killarney.
