Ireland on the Fly

Candlelit Tales Irish Mythology Podcast

OwlTail

Welcome back to the Candlelit Tales podcast, and this series on Waterways. This is the story of Lough Sheelin, the lake of the fairie pool. This is more closely linked to folk tales and the folk beliefs that surround the mysterious lake in Co. Cavan. At the North Eastern tip of the waterways that connect to the River Shannon, this lake has a number of tales of merpeople under the lake, or houses spotted under the surface. Our protagonist is known only as the student, and he was sick and tiered of hearing these superstitious stories his father would frequently. Unfortunately for the student, he had attracted the attention of one of the merpeople, and that's not often a good thing.The source of this story, stories tied together as one, was inspired by two stories of “Loch Síodh Linn” from the book ‘Meath Folk Tales’ by Richard Marsh.This podcast is proudly sponsored by the people who donate to us each month viahttps://www.patreon.com/candlelittales and anyone who sends us a once-off donation through the Paypal button on our website http://candlelittales.ie/Please note the content of these stories may be triggering for some listeners, please take care of yourself as you listen.https://www.youtube.com/c/CandlelitTales https://open.spotify.com/show/2102WuUUe9Jl6cGXNwQEKf https://soundcloud.com/candlelittales https://twitter.com/candlelit_tales?lang=en https://www.facebook.com/candlelittales https://www.instagram.com/candlelittales https://vimeo.com/user52850249 https://music.amazon.co.uk/podcasts/00d5c29b-ee1a-4078-aacf-62e1a94522dc/candlelit-tales-irish-mythology-podcast

Mayfly Season on Lough Sheelin

Eamonn Ross

To hear how the mayfly season went this year on Lough Sheelin, for this episode we spoke to Eamonn Ross from the Lough Sheelin Trout Protection Association. Eamonn describes it as a tough time for him on the lake with the better days coming at the start of the mayfly period while it was hard to get the trout to move for the fly, he says, unless it was right on them. Eamonn also talks about his memories of Sheelin from the 1980s to its current popularity and he explains why it is so special and magical for so many fly anglers, especially during the mayfly.
