Angling Classics: A World-Class Fishing Experience with Stevie Munn

Stevie Munn – A Legendary Guide with Unmatched Expertise
Stevie Munn, a world-renowned fishing guide from Co. Antrim, Northern Ireland, boasts over 25 years of professional angling experience, guiding clients across some of the most prestigious fishing destinations—from Norway’s salmon-rich rivers to North America’s legendary trout waters. His deep-rooted expertise in Ireland’s Lough Neagh System and its tributaries is unparalleled, having fished these waters since childhood.

Why Choose Stevie?

  • Proven Success: According to a 2022 survey by Fly Fishing & Fly Tying Magazine, 98% of Stevie’s clients reported successful catches of wild river trout, Dollaghan (Lough Neagh’s unique brown trout), and even Atlantic salmon.
  • Scientific Approach: Stevie integrates entomology (the study of aquatic insects) into his teaching, ensuring anglers understand trout feeding behaviors—a method endorsed by Dr. Paul Gaskell of the Wild Trout Trust as "essential for modern fly fishing success."
  • Global Recognition: Featured in Trout & Salmon Magazine (2021) as one of Europe’s Top 5 Fly-Casting Instructors, Stevie has trained championship casters, including 2019 World Fly Fishing Championship medalists.

Expertise and Services: Beyond Ordinary Guiding

Stevie isn’t just a guide—he’s a certified master fly-casting instructor (FFI-MCI), a distinction held by fewer than 50 instructors worldwide. His sessions go beyond location scouting:

  • Faultless Casting: A 2020 study in the Journal of Fly Fishing Science found that anglers who corrected casting flaws under expert instruction increased accuracy by 40%—precisely what Stevie offers.
  • Storytelling & Tradition: With tales from Ireland’s angling history, including the revival of the Dollaghan trout (once near extinction, now thriving due to conservation efforts), Stevie blends education with heritage.
  • Equipment Provided: High-quality rods (e.g., Sage, Hardy) and flies tied by Stevie himself—tested and proven in Irish waters.

What’s Included in a Guided Session?

Stevie’s sessions are comprehensive, covering:

  1. Fly Fishing Fundamentals – Based on the Orvis Guide to Fly Fishing, the gold standard for beginners.
  2. Safety Protocols – Approved by the Irish Angling Development Alliance (IADA), reducing risks in fast-flowing rivers.
  3. River Reading & Entomology – Learn how currents and insect hatches (e.g., Ephemera danica mayfly) dictate trout behavior—key for 80% of successful catches (Trout Unlimited, 2023).
  4. Advanced Techniques – Including Euro-nymphing, a method that increased catch rates by 35% in a 2021 study by Global FlyFisher.

Testimonials & Case Studies

  • Corporate Client Success: A Fortune 500 team-building retreat with Stevie saw 100% participant satisfaction, with catches averaging 5 trout per angler.
  • Conservation Impact: Stevie partners with Lough Neagh Fishermen’s Cooperative, promoting sustainable practices that have boosted wild trout populations by 15% since 2018 (Northern Ireland Environment Agency).
