Fishing Holidays in Ireland

Anglers return to Ireland year after year for quality fishing in superb scenery amongst genuinely friendly people, and that special Irish factor, the ‘craic’. With rivers and stillwaters of everysize, there’s something for everybody, both pleasure anglers and match fisherman.

Springtime sees the larger lakes producing 100 pounds plus bags, and as the waters warm the fishing gets even better. Right through into late autumn the rivers and lakes offer terrific sport.

Our holidays are great value for groups of two or more, and we recommend saildrive with Stena Line for the widest choice of routes and times.

Charter Boat Angling

Ireland has the best charter boat fishing in Europe and some of the finest skippers to be found anywhere. With a choice of wreck, reef and general fishing, you can expect a massive variety of different species and a chance of catching a few monsters too!

Shark abound along the south and west coasts during summer and in recent years there have been a number of boats – especially in Donegal – specialising in Blue Fin Tuna later in the season. Leisure Angling and Anglers World can tailor-make a sea angling break to your exact needs.
