Ireland – the Emerald Isle of Unforgettable Fishing

Fishing isn’t a pastime only for men of means.

This simple truth is ever so dynamically manifested in Ireland – a country of many natural reserves and thriving wildlife. The country’s territory encompasses water bodies of all shapes and sizes, both salt and fresh water. Coupled with the auspicious climate conditions, the wide variety of rivers and lakes vouch for quality fishing. To top things off, there can be found artificially populated fish ponds for those desperate to take home a big catch. Fishing inland or in the open waters of the ocean Ireland’s topology allows both. Furthermore, fishing is strongly underpinned by the local authorities. Look at it which way would, but I’d say every prerequisite for an unforgettable fishing vacation is there. How about we get even more factual and pinpoint a few actual spots with an excellent reputation.
