July, 2017: We had a wonderful group of people join us on our recent Ireland trip. Our fishing started out in the Conmel area with Andrew Ryan and his guides from Clonanav Fly Fishing. We stayed at the Hotel Minella and fished Andrew’s water for three days and caught lots of beautiful brown trout. On the fourth day, we took the scenic coastal route to Galway and Ballynahinch Castle. The Owenmore River flows through the castle grounds and we fished for Atlantic salmon for three days. The salmon were not as cooperative as the trout, we saw lots of fish roll and show, but were only able to put two in the net. The castle accommodations were elegant, food, and service over the top, and we all loved the estate grounds and the river. We will be back to try again. This is a great trip for the nonangler as they have their own guide and itinerary. Please let Frontiers know if you’re interested in joining us in 2018.
