You ever run into someone who just gets fishing in a way that makes your own experience feel like you’ve been skimming the surface? That’s Stevie Munn for you. Based up in Antrim, this guy’s been guiding anglers everywhere—Norway, the States, you name it—for what, 25 years now? But here’s the kicker: his real magic happens on Irish waters, especially around Lough Neagh and its rivers. He’s been fishing those spots since he was practically dragging a net behind his bike as a kid. Wild trout? Dollaghan? The odd salmon? Yeah, he’ll put you on them. And it’s not just about where to fish—Stevie’s one of those rare guides who can actually fix your casting mid-stream without making it feel like a lecture.

Oh, and if you’re the type who geeks out on the nitty-gritty—entomology, reading currents, why your knots keep failing—he’s got you covered there too. Sessions with him are less "lesson" and more like swapping stories with a mate who happens to know everything about fly fishing. He’ll even lend you gear (though bring your own boots—trust me, you don’t want to borrow those).

Funny thing is, for how deep his expertise runs, Stevie’s not the type to flaunt it. You’ll pick up more in an hour with him than some folks learn in seasons. And if you’re really into the fly-fishing scene, he’s tangled up in the Irish Fly Fair—worth a look if you’re serious about the craft.

Bottom line? If you want to fish smarter, laugh a lot, and maybe finally figure out why your backcast keeps tangling, Stevie’s your guy. Just don’t blame him when you start planning your next trip before the first one’s even over.
