Paul and Bob venture to the mighty Lough Corrib, Ireland鈥檚 largest lough and one of the best places in the country to try trout fishing. Later, they meet Undertones singer Fergal Sharkey.

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鈥檚 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.

Good local knowledge of the weather and currents are essential, and they have local guide Richie Johnston to assist. Patience as well as good fishing know-how are always essential for any guide when working with Paul and Bob, especially when the three of them are sharing a boat.

Later on, they head to a traditional Irish pub to meet old friend and Undertones singer Fergal Sharkey.
