About Guiding:
By employing a Guide you make the most of your time and will greatly increase your success rates. Our guides have excellent local knowledge and angling experience and are available for both boat and bank fishing. The guide's boat (if needed) is a traditional style but modern-built, 17-19 ft fibreglass lake boat with 5-10hp outboard engine. The boat is equipped with rod holders, fish finder, oars, and anchors. We also supply automatic inflatable lifejackets to our guests.
When fishing, our guide will bring you to the fish holding areas and show you the best methods/tactics and can also supply you with the best locally proven flies, lures or baits.

Boat fishing:
Often and especially in the warmer months of the year we use boats to access the likely pike holding places.
Typical of the methods we employ are: Lure trolling, Spinning, Dead baiting etc.

Bank fishing (mobile):
There are good locations on some rivers and lakes where there is no need for a boat. Great sport can be had when walking the bank equipped with a spinning rod and some tackle, or fly-fishing for pike. The guide will bring you to those places and assist you in every way.

Bank fishing (static):
Fully guided static approaches can also be arranged at any time, but usually from late autumn and all through the winter. Ledgering Dead baits, Float ledgering, etc. can get you the real biggies. We just set up and relax with a hot mug of tea or coffee, while waiting for the first run. Bank sticks, Bite alarms, Tackle, etc. can be provided

Fly fishing for Pike:
This is one of the most exiting ways of catching pike from boat or bank, and is enjoyed by both experienced fly-anglers and beginners. We can supply you with some of the pike-flies and again our tackle rental facilities will cater for everything you need.

New on offer are guided angling trips from float-tubes ...you can't get any closer to the fish!! [...read more]

Fly-fishing for wild Irish Brown Trout

Rivers: Season is from March to September.
We consider fishing the dry fly as the most sporting and effective method. Depending on conditions and your preferences the wet fly and Nymphs can also produce very good catches. For all three methods you will nearly always get away with a floating line in the rivers around here.
 
Lakes: Season is from March to September.
Wet-fly fishing predominates from early season until the end of May. Some good sport can be had during buzzer and duck fly hatches in the early part of the season. Excellent dry-fly fishing during the Mayfly hatches and great evening fishing with spent mayfly patterns.
Also try the traditional "Dapping", which is practised with 15-18 ft. long rods and two or three real mayflies on a hook. On a good windy day those mayflies are presented on the leeside of the drifting boat. The takes are in close range to the boat, and the fishing is really exciting if you're not a fly rod purist.
Wet fly fishing predominates again until July/August when the sedge fishing starts. Green Peters and Murroughs will hatch in great numbers and large trout can be caught on dry patterns from evening till nighttime.
