Daire Whelan New Hardback
Postscript summary
Taking its name from the final line of A River Runs Through It by Norman Maclean, Daire Whelan's recollection of a year of fly fishing in his native Ireland weaves evocative descriptions of locations including the Blackwater in Waterford, Bass Mecca on Cork's Atlantic coast and the Dodder in Dublin with the stories of the people and places associated with the sport.
Product information
Full publisher description
Award-winning producer and journalist Daire Whelan had reached the end of another busy week and couldn't shake the feeling that life was passing him by too quickly. Vowing to make a change, he decided to commit to a year of fly fishing and set about planning his route through the wild and rugged landscape of Ireland.
Here, in Haunted by Waters: A Journey into the Irish Countryside we travel with Daire throughout a season of fly fishing. But as he searches for a sense of meaning, meeting kindred spirits as he explores the rivers and lakes, Daire finds himself rediscovering the majestic beauty of his native country.
From fishing on our most secluded bays and wildest loughs in Connemara and Kerry, to casting a line on the rippling waters of the Suir in Tipperary, catching salmon on the Blackwater in Waterford, and the serenity of the Dodder in Dublin on a workday afternoon, Haunted by Waters is an evocative and stunning love letter to Ireland through a sport rich in tradition and storytelling.
