My father, Padraic Kelly has kindly offered to donate 1 days ghillie service on Lough Conn during the coming season.

All monies raised will go towards the Irish International Fishing Team that will be fishing the Home International on Lough Sheelin in May 2012.

It's a fantastic chance to get to fish Lough Conn with the man that knows it best. Conn will possibly be the venue for the Irish National this year, so what better way to get to learn the best spots on the Lough. He's good craic in a boat and makes a mean cup of tea....... Private messages please and I expect this to go for the going rate or above....it is a fundraiser after all

If anyone has anything further that they would like to donate to help the cause of the Irish Flyfishing Team for Sheelin, then I and the rest of the team would be truely greatful

Now someone could learn a lot here the sights on the lough itself must be worth a fair bit.
All the best to you and the team.
I can offer a day or 2 on Melvin but it would be best in August although I should be OK for easter if you can use it.

A bit irrelevant but MM, i too am fishing Melvin in late July, any good patterns you could pass on?

Usual subjects, Dabblers like octopus, telephone fly there could well be some mayfly and dont be affraid to try a pulled blob maybe some sedge around also.
Good luck
