It's officially Winter and that means, for many fly anglers, the longer nights will see the vice dusted down and plans made for new flies to be tied for next season.

On this episode of Ireland on the Fly, we hear from one of Ireland's finest fly tyers, Jackie Mahon, to get some of the secrets to his fly tying success- and he tells us the extent he will go to for just the right shade of Magenta!

From choosing the right hooks, to the unique dying process and old school dying with Picric Acid, with a few laughs in between- enjoy this hugely entertaining talk.
