Fly Fishing

Guiding

Connemara is known worldwide for its clean, unpolluted rivers and lakes, which offer plentiful supplies of salmon, sea trout, and wild brown trout. If you fish for Sea Trout or Salmon you must purchase the relevant licence for these two migratory species. We can arrange for this at your request.

Spiddal’s beautiful coastal landscape doesn’t just provide a magnificent backdrop for sea angling, it forms a vital part of the sport itself. Just try angling in the surf of any sandy Spiddal beach…catching mullet in the picturesque harbours…or fishing wrasse (rock fish), mackerel, pollock in the craggy coastline and you’ll see what we mean!
