In this video Fulling Mill Signature Tyers Tom 'Doc' Sullivan and Jackie Mahon take us along for a day of fly fishing in Ireland on Lough Arrow. As one of Ireland's premier wild brown trout loughs, Lough Arrow is a very special fishery. There are few like it anywhere else in the world. As Tom and Jackie fish through the day they talk about their fly choices, fly lines, the drifts they run, where they expect to find fish, fish behavior, and a whole lot more about fishing for wild brown trout. Between the two of them they have many decades of experience fishing on Ireland's Loughs. Whether you're just learning how to lough fish or are a seasoned pro, they have some serious expertise you do not want to miss.

For those of you who don't fly fish stillwaters or lakes often, don't overlook this video. There's a lot to learn about trout feeding behavior that can be applied to all sorts of fishing situations.
