i am thinking about a fishing holiday in ireland next year does anybody know of any good venues, places to stay etc, also do you need to take maggots or can you just fish sweetcorn and worms and catch?

Hi

i wont propose an area because my one trip to Ireland wasnt that great.

But there are loads of B&Bs which cater purposely for the angler and you can arrange for plain crumb , maggots ,worms etc to be ready for you when you get there to save the hassle of carting them over yourself. Also quite a few of the B&B's have bait storage areas. When i went i hired a cottage worked out great value about £50 a head for 8 of us.

What species do you want to fish for? and what time of year do you want to come here?

hi greg was thinking of going next summer poss july would like to catch hybrids roach and tench would like somewhere that has purpose built anglers platforms but not important also would like to know if there are any canals where hybrids are present.

I WAS going to give my opinion, but if Greg is happy I'll leave well alone!!

All the canals have hybrids and tench. I will find out the best areas from some coarse angling friends and get back to you. Its been a few years since I drowned maggots . I'm sure a day or two won't harm your booking chances

I'd start by giving anglers world holidays a bell on 01246 221717 for a free brochure. lots of places, prices and info in there.

I'm told if you base yourself around Mullingar and Longford will be your best bet. July is a little late for the warm water fishery at Lanesboro

Here is a fishery board approved base to look at http://www.melviewlodge.com/angling.htm in this area but also look at Kilglass Lake & Finlough Near Strokestown in Co.Roscommon for excellent tench fishing with good hybrids too.http://www.dirl.com/roscommon/strokestown/grange-lodge.htm is a self catering cottage nearby.
