    S5:E6

    In a first for Paul and Bob, they venture to southern Ireland to fish the mighty Lough Corrib. At 43.5km long, it is Ireland’s largest lough and one of the best places in the country to try trout fishing. This is very different to fishing the Hampshire chalk streams, as they did a few years ago - this time they are out on boats and try out a new technique called dapping.
