It was indeed really high time to visit Ireland again. As I was supposed to fine tune the fly casting abilities of two of the finest Irish fly casters I finally returned to the Green Island after many years of absence. At least 15 times I had been visitting the island after having worked there in 1985.

On my way to Delphi Lodge, where I would be coaching for two days I stopped at a unique outdoor- und angling shop which caught my attention. Vincent, the owner is a passionate angler, guide and nature freak, who will help you to find your perfect type of accomodation no matter if you are a rucksack tourist or someone who likes to stay in 5***** hotels. In Vincent's shop you can also hire kayaks and light boats to fish nearby Lake Corrib. Whenever you come by in Oughterard please feel free to visit Rocky Mountain High. You can reach Vincent and his wife Kellie via rockymountainhi@eircom.net, too.
