Following a reduced programme in 2025, the Daiwa Pairs returns to a full festival schedule in Dingle for 2026. The organisers have now released the Info Pack for the festival, and entries are invited for this prestigious, and enjoyable event. Anglers from all over Ireland and the UK return for this festival year after year, and this year promises to be better than ever.

The dates for the Daiwa Pairs are September 19-25, with registration on the 19th and prize presentation on the 25th. The festival consists of a number of pegged matches on beaches around the Dingle Peninsula, as well as a specimen hunt that rewards anglers for the best fish of each species caught during the week.
