Stan Headley is a fly angler and fly tyer who would be known to so many people in Ireland and the UK.  A regular contributor to Trout & Salmon magazine down through the years, the Orkney angler also penned three books - The Loch Fishers Bible, Trout & Salmon Flies of Scotland and Reflections on the Loch which became the go to source for Scottish loughs fishing – but he was also a fan of fishing in Ireland too and was a regular visitor to these shores.

However, due to illness, Stan’s says that his fishing days are now behind him and so this week’s interview with him is one tinged with sadness but also fond memories as he joins us to look back on an incredible life in fly fishing, what it meant to him and the similarities and differences between Irish loughs' and Scottish lochs' fishing.
