Angling Holidays in Ireland

Ireland is recognized as being the outstanding angling destination in Europe. The vast variety and quality of fishing has given the country a reputation of which the Irish are proud. There are virtually thousands of lakes and many different species of fish for you to choose from and 14,000 km of fish bearing rivers. In Ireland the visitor finds uncrowded waters containing a rewarding variety, quality and quantity of fish. When you also consider that many of these waters are virtually unfished - or at most under-fished - it is a situation rarely, if ever, found in Europe.

For the angler who wants quality more than quantity, Ireland has really something to offer. The pike fishing is legendary, the rudd amongst the best in Europe, whilst the trench and bream live up to their tackle-breaking reputations.

Irelands reputation as a haven for the game angler is steeped in tradition. Within a narrow compass, many areas can offer a variety of Stillwater and river fishing at a cost that is always reasonable.

For the sea angler there are 3,500 miles of island punctuated coastline to explore, ranging from rocky outcrops, where multicolored wrasse and hard fighting pollack abound, to miles of surf beaches where you will probably never see another angler and instead have the company of bass, rays, spurdog. Even shark have been caught from the shore in some areas.

The boat angler is equally well catered for with charter boats and friendly, helpful skippers situated in all the top angling centers. It has to be said that deep-sea fishing is still in its infancy in Ireland, with many wrecks yet to be discovered and fished. All of the fisheries are managed and stocked, while banks and access routes to the waters edge are developed to ensure the visitor gets directly and easily to the hotspots. Our fishing packages will ensure that you get the best quality and service on offer.
