The rod is a 13' coarse match rod that has been re-ringed with snake rings. you don't need anything longer, these huge 15-16' telescopic hernia poles are a bloody liability and a waste of money! the fish will come up close to the boat so you don't need anything longer than 12-13'.
thanks BFC01, I have had a load of abuse from people who think killing a fish is the end of the world! There is a sustainable crop to be taken from every lake and Corrib is no different. doing things in moderation is OK - the old days of killing everything is no longer acceptable!

when did we kill them all? We kept 2 fish to eat in a week. If you can't make a sensible comment, don't make a comment at all!

Well caught chum, and you "priested" fish quick-good fishing manners, which few seem to understand
Fished Corrib in 1976 on the dap, and I just could not get timing of strike right!
The Irish say the lords prayer (relatively quickly! from the time the fish rolls over fly and takes it down to inspect it)
-the foreigners count from one to ten till they strike
Got one fish, but the Canadian ghillie got two, and the local Irish farmer, got three!
kept two of the fish, the others we returned
