Description

Oliver McGilloway present's McGilloway's Way, a programme which celebrates the dramatic and beautiful landscapes surrounding Ulster. 

This episode is set in Creeslough, Co. Donegal, where trout is plentiful and anglers all over the North West come to fish. Most of the men fish bait and McGilloway follows suit! Learn about the trouts cone vision which allows them to see well and so when trout fishing, angler's must keep low so they don't see them and wear muted colours. 

McGilloway "keeps his fingers crossed" to catch a fish but the conditions make the wait longer - eventually though his patience is rewarded and a trout bites!

Notes

Oliver, or Olly McGilloway as he was widely known as, was the presenter of McGilloway's Way and was produced by Joe Mahon.  The series was unexpectedly cut short due to McGilloway's untimely death in 1994.  The programme was relaunched as Lesser Spotted Ulster with Joe Mahon as presenter and continues to be broadcasted today.
