   Denis Connors, journeyman shoemaker mentioned above, never slept on a bed, or in a house, during the fishing season. He slept by a fence, woke before dawn, and made for the banks of the Blackwater. He fished without breakfast well into the day, often till night if the fishing were good. He made his own fishing gear, and tied salmon flies for the particular day, having observed the water and the sky. He was nicknamed the "Warrior", and one salmon fly which he tied is called the "Warrior". This pattern salmon fly was copied by a firm of Fishing Tackle Dealers in Cork. It is a noted fly in these parts, and sure to conquer on certain days. The warrior was a low-sized man with a very quick temper. It was often he drew the leather knife when in a rage. He never travelled without the knife, as it was so useful to him on his fishing expeditions. Mr Grehan - Local Landlord of Clonmeen, Banteer, usually gave a pair of boots to his ploughmen, and workmen at Christmas. Daniel Sullivan of Banteer used to make these. The water, in which the feet are washed must not be left in the vessel for the night. If not thrown out, a funeral from the house may be expected during the year.
