Notes: : Stephen is a member of GAIA and is qualified to instruct in all areas of Spey Casting for Salmon. Guiding is offered to a vast number of salmon rivers in Ireland. He lives in the County of Kildare and can arrange classes from novice to more experienced casters who wish to improve their casting skills.
Notes: Love Fishing Ireland have a small team of experienced guides available for tailor made fishing excursions for both wild brown trout and pike.
While the standard days guiding on the River Liffey or Rye Water will appeal to many, for the more adventurous we offer guided trips by Canadian canoe along what are considered to be the best fishing beats of the River Liffey.
All of our fishing takes place within 40 minutes drive of Dublin city centre and is based on stretches of water where the sight of buses and trucks on city streets is replaced by the far more pleasant riverside traffic of Kingfishers and Otters and where the sound of a beeping horn is substituted by the Mewing of a passing Buzzard.
We can also have experience of catering for larger groups of up to 16 anglers with a maximum of 4 anglers per ghillie.
Notes: Trout fishing on the River Liffey at Newbridge and surrounding areas. John has done a lot of business with Spanish customers (his wife is Spanish) and US customers. Popular amonst anglers coming in for the races or golf that also want to do some fishing. He offers a package based on 3 anglers with 4 nights accommodation, 3 days fishing, including lunches and pick up and drop off at Dublin Airport for €450 per person. He also supplies all gear and flies (he ties his own flies).
Guides and Instructors for salmon and trout fishing
River Liffey
Notes: The estate offers excellent fishing for salmon and brown trout. Salmon fishing is available over one mile of the River Liffey. Considerable fishery work has been done on the estate’s stretch, creating substantial holding pools and improving its fly life. Fishing on the Liffey is by fly only. All tackle and waterproof gear can be supplied. Boat, ghillies and tuition can be provided. Freezing facilities are also available.
Our lake
All fishing takes place on the bank of the lake which is easily accessible. During your session, expert Ghillies, (fishing guides) will transport you out to the bankside and will instruct and assist any novices in the art of fly casting. Many complete beginners have successfully caught plenty of the beautiful rainbow and brown trout in our lakes. In line with modern fishing ethics, fish are returned alive to the water, unless you specifically request otherwise.
Well its the start of a New Era for me. This season I will be running a Guiding Service on the midlands lakes. I will be primarily based on Lough Sheelin, Lough Owel and Lough Lene, where I have fished all my life. I have many caps for the Senior Irish Team, Captain twice, I have also won the Brown Bowl and have coached the youth team on and off for over 15 years. I am also the Irish Ambassador for Wychwood Game.
The midland lakes produce some of the biggest wild Brown Trout in Ireland and some of the biggest Stocked triploids too. The season starts with fry imitations but quickly turns to the buzzer, followed by Olives, Mayfly and sedge fishing as the year progresses.
If you want to book a day with me please please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
