Great blog, thanks for taking the time to post here.
As a beginner i depend on sites like this for tips and tricks.
One of my biggest problems is knowing what fly to use (time of season, time of day etc, not sure if anyone knows of a site where i can actually see pictures of the fly so i can identify them in my fly box when they are referenced here.

Thanks
G

You could try the Black Gnat especially when they are on the water in good numbers. The brown silverhorn sedges are on the water at the moment and some good fish have a particular liking for these but it takes time to spot these fish although it can be time well spent. I took some nice fish on an olive comparadun size 16 early in the day. Some days when there is strong sunshine the fishing will be hard going on such days i usually keep on the move all the while looking out for rising fish and then try to identify what the fish is taking. You could also try fishing a small sized Pheasant tail nymph under an indicator fly eg. large Kilnkhamer.

Hi, I would love to fish on this part of the Liffey, where could I buy permits? Are there just dayly ones or also seasonal?

Great fishing again, was down there last weekend and will probably be down there this Saturday. Missed countless rises last weekend, any recommendations of flies I should bring down. Small sedge and olive patterns were getting the fish rising, but I thought they were onto something else.
