This Saturday and Sunday, July 26th and 27th, Inniscarra Reservoir will host the 44th World Championship for Coarse Fishing for Clubs on the Coachford Greenway and Garden Centre sections. Twenty six teams of five anglers from all over the world will be competing at the event at the renowned venue with fishing taking place each day between 10am and 2pm, with anglers allowed to enter their fishing boxes from 8am sharp.
Inniscarra Lake is renowned for its serene, natural beauty, providing a world-class angling experience for both casual and competitive anglers. As one of Ireland’s premier freshwater fishing destinations, the lake combines abundant fish stocks with exceptional infrastructure and strong local support.
Sustainability is a top priority for the venue, with catch and release practices playing a key role in ensuring environmentally responsible fishing. Local communities and anglers work together to preserve the lake, ensuring it remains a vibrant and thriving location for future generations of anglers.
Inland fisheries Ireland are proud to be able to sponsor such a high profile event event. Recreational angling tourism contributes hundreds of millions of euros to the Irish economy each year, with visiting anglers spending more, staying longer and returning to Ireland more often than the average visitor. Events like this can help to showcase the world class fishing we have in Ireland, as well as the world class experience visitors enjoy away from the riverbank, lake shore or coastline.
Spectators are welcome to attend and watch the world’s best going head to head to take the title of Club World Champions, so make sure to visit and see how it’s done!
