"Listen to the sound of the river and you will get a trout." ~ Irish proverb

For centuries, Ireland has offered the mightiest of sport to the visiting angler. Ireland’s clean lakes and rivers are teeming with a variety of fish including the finest wild salmon and an array of trout like Dollaghan and Gillaroo. With a large network of rivers and loughs, Ireland is the one of the few last refuges for truly wild trout attracting anglers back year after year.

With over 1,800 miles of coastline, calm bays and a unique geographic position, Ireland is one of the world’s prime deep fishing locations.

Simply put, Ireland is a haven for angling enthusiasts.
