Hi! Still working on plans for our trip this fall. In order to get husband to go with me this year, I promised fishing would be part of the trip. We have plenty of time to fit this in, but I am not knowledgable about fishing, especially in Ireland!
He mentioned Pike. He generally fishes lakes in US and Canada - occasionally in the ocean in Florida.
Was looking at a stop in Carrick on Shannon, perhaps - came upon this in a web search, but really have no idea. I will most likely send him off for a day of fishing with a guide, so I'd like to have other activities nearby that I can do. We will be in Ireland 9/24 - 10/9.
Any advice on fishing in general, locations, places to stay in those locations, and guides??
Carrick on Shannon, the county town of County Leitrim, is justifiably well known as a center for fishing and boating, lots of lakes, the locals say they measure the land by the litre, not the acre
I only know Kerry well, Lakelands Farm Guesthouse in Waterville is right beside a lake and the husband of the owner is a great fisherman(Rainbow Trout). I know alot of fisherman stay there. Another is beach cove B&B at St Finians bays, many fisherman stay here from the sea bass fishing (shore angling). Thirdly, blackstones B&B in Glencar is great place for fisherman(beside carragh river and near lake), breda is a friend of mine and lovely spot.
