The West of Ireland is renowned for its breathtaking landscapes and exceptional freshwater fly fishing experiences. Connemara, nestled between the vast Atlantic Ocean to the west and the expansive Lough Corrib to the east, boasts some of the finest salmon and trout fisheries in the world. The region’s unspoiled beauty, combined with its rich fishing heritage, makes it a dream destination for anglers. Join us on a thrilling salmon and trout angling safari, where you’ll fish alongside like minded enthusiasts, surrounded by Connemara’s spectacular scenery.

The region’s rivers and lakes witness their first run of large spring salmon in early April, followed by the arrival of grilse in June, peaking in July. As the season progresses, more salmon make their way upstream in August and September, particularly after periods of heavy rain that replenish the rivers. Connemara’s salmon fishing is at its best when the rivers are in spate,\ as the influx of fresh water brings new salmon into the system while stirring up those already present, creating optimal fishing conditions.

With expert guidance from your private Ghillie, you’ll gain valuable insights into the best techniques and locations for a successful day on the water. Fluent in both French and English, your guide will ensure you have a seamless and enjoyable experience tailored to your skill level and preferences.
