A short guide to Ireland's Eastern Region
The Eastern Counties of Ireland provide anglers with a wide range of top quality game, pike, coarse and sea fishing opportunities. The strategic location of major airports and ferry terminals within the region enables visiting anglers to maximise their holiday and angling time.
Quality Salmon, Sea-Trout and Brown Trout fishing are available on a choice of rivers and lakes such as the Boyne Catchment, Rivers Fane, Liffey, and Lough Lene.
The Lakeland districts of Cavan and Monaghan are a coarse anglers heaven, boasting hundreds of lakes in beautiful rural surroundings. There are no shortage of specimen fish in these many and varied waters, with key targets being Bream, Roach, Hybrids, and Tench.
Carrickmacross in County Monaghan is a Pike anglers Mecca. The countless lakes in the area abound with Pike many to specimen size, while the town is home to a number of experienced guides well versed in the art of lure and fly fishing, dead baiting, and float trolling.
The extensive coastline from Carlingford Lough, with its terrific Tope fishing; to Wexford with its fighting Bass, Smooth Hound, and winter Flounder offer fantastic opportunities for all categories of sea angler.
Kilmore Quay in South Wexford is home to an extensive charter fleet who fish the rich fishing grounds off the Saltee Islands for Pollack, Ling, Codling, Wrasse, Conger, Bass, and Tope. The venue also acts as a base for the annual small boats festival held every year in September.
