Fishing

Ireland has so many fishing options for beginners to professionals and often described as an anglers dream. The lakes, Rivers and canals are peaceful and yet brimming with fish all year round.

Banagher is home to the Coarse Angling Centre, which holds annual competitions between April and May.

Much of Ireland’s inland waterways are literally crawling with species, and there are so few anglers about that at times it feels like you’ve been transported to some kind of eternal fishing paradise.

Fishing is free on most of the Inland waterways however a permit is required for the River Suck. This can be bought online or from the local fishing tackle shop. 

For more information on fishing destinations, types of fish in Ireland or boat hire etc, head over to Angling Ireland.
