Ireland
is recognised... as being the outstanding angling destination in Europe.
The vast variety and quality of our fishing has given the country a
reputation of which we are justly proud. Ours is an island of approximately
500 km in length and 300 km wide, with a very high ratio of water to
land (1 to 35).
There are virtually thousands of lakes
and 14,000 km of fish bearing rivers. The Gods must have smiled benignly
on Ireland because they obviously bore the needs of sport fishing in
mind when designing our climate. It is temperate and kind to the angler
with moderate summers, mild winters and adequate rainfall throughout
the year. |
