Fly Fishing Trips in Ireland

Organized and designed for passionate fly fishers (beginners welcome), this is an opportunity to explore one or two regions of Ireland during six full days of fishing in a small group of 2 to 4 anglers.

Each trip is personally hosted by me (welcoming, transportation, guiding).

2 distinct fishing zones are featured: the Wild West, covering the counties of Mayo and Sligo, and the Nore Valley in the counties of Laois and Kilkenny.

The Irish West, with its more mountainous terrain, is home to rivers with variable flow rates, often granite-based, but also features little-known limestone streams where you can find beautiful brown trout…
On top of that, the last Ice Age left thousands of peatland lakes where trout rarely encounter artificial flies.

The River Nore, spanning 140 km, flows through the fertile plains of southeastern Ireland. It is fed by numerous small tributaries, perfect for engaging spot fishing.

Lesser known than its sibling, the River Suir, the Nore offers a variety of character, including riffles, smooth glides, and deep pools with stable gravel beds, providing enjoyment for all fly fishers.

The density of 100% wild trout may surprise even seasoned anglers, especially during hatches !

These fly-fishing trips in Ireland are open to everyone, whether you come as part of a group or register individually.

Trips are guaranteed with a minimum of two participants.

Please note: custom dates can be arranged for private groups.

On these two trips, you will enjoy

Personalized support from your arrival in Dublin to your departure.
Transportation throughout the trip.

Fishing gear and materials provided (rods, reels, flies, etc.).

Ireland Fly Fishing from East to West

A unique, itinerant fly-fishing trip exploring two regions of Ireland over six days, divided into two sets of three days.

You’ll fish different locations each day, including spate rivers, a limestone river, scenic peatland lakes, and, of course, the magnificent River Nore and its tributaries.

So many opportunities to drift your flies across diverse waters and catch naturally bred brown trout with their distinctive markings.

West Coast Ireland Fly Fishing Trip

Explore the West of Ireland with a fly rod in hand, venturing through the counties of Mayo and Sligo. This region offers intimate rivers often overlooked by anglers who traditionally favor boat fishing on the large lakes like Corrib and Mask…

It’s impossible to spend six days fishing without casting at least once on these peatland lakes !

With their unique landscapes and undeniable quality of fishing whether dry fly or wet fly.
