Atlantic Salmon & Sea Trout fishing.Connemara.English/French speaking Ghillie
Overview
The West of Ireland offers the most wonderful, wild fresh water fly fishing experiences. Connemara bordered by the Atlantic on the West and Lough
Corrib on the East it is strewn with some of the best salmon and trout fisheries in the world. Join us on our salmon and trout angling safaris with
like-minded people in spectacular scenic Connemara. Most rivers and lake systems see their first run of large spring salmon in early April, with grilse
arriving later in June and peaking in July. More salmon will enter the rivers in August and September whenever the rivers receive enough rain. The salmon fishing in Connemara is always best when the rivers are "in spate" following a heavy rain, which brings in fresh salmon and riles up those already
in the river.
Your guide is an expert on fishing in these rivers and will guide you through your perfect day.
Pax: min 1, max 2 fishermen per boat. Available February to end September.
