Fly Fishing in Ireland

Wild brown trout, salmon, and sea trout in the storied west of Ireland.

Old-world fishing, wild waters

Ireland is one of the great homes of fly fishing, and its west coast is the heart of it. The limestone country of Co. Clare and Galway holds crystal-clear streams and famous wild brown trout loughs, while Connemara adds storied Atlantic salmon and sea trout fisheries like Lough Inagh, Costelloe, Kylemore, and the River Moy system. Our partner, Fly Fishing Holidays Ireland, is a boutique guided operation that supplies all rods, flies, waders, and tackle, handles licences and day tickets, and pairs the fishing with genuine Irish hospitality, from 4-star hotel-based holidays to river-and-glamping adventures. It is an ideal trip for traveling anglers, couples, and anyone who wants beautiful country with their fishing.

Frequently Asked Questions

The trout season generally runs from spring through September, with the legendary mayfly hatch on the loughs in May and early June the most famous window. Salmon and sea trout runs build through the summer months.

All levels are welcome. Guides here are patient teachers on small streams and stillwaters, while experienced anglers can chase technical lough trout, fresh salmon, and night-time sea trout.

No. Guided trips include rods, reels, flies, waders, and all tackle, along with licences and day tickets, so you can travel with nothing but your clothing and a rain jacket.

Changeable, always. Expect anything from sunshine to soft rain in a single day, with mild temperatures through the season. Pack layers and reliable rain gear and you will be comfortable.

The west of Ireland is a world-class destination in its own right: the Cliffs of Moher and The Burren, Connemara National Park, castles, golf, traditional music, and some of the friendliest pubs on earth are all nearby.
