Celtic Field Sports offers not just game fishing but also coarse fishing. Our native pike give great sport and Irish pike range up to 40lbs in weight.
The
essence of game angling is the pursuit of native
fish in wild places; Ireland offers a unique
opportunity to experience such fishing. Salmon,
trout and sea trout are native species with an
honoured place in Irish culture. And Ireland's
loughs and rivers have preserved their character
in a landscape which has changed very little
over the centuries. The angler on Lough Mask,
one of the great western limestone loughs,
witnesses a timeless scene looking across the
waves to mountain ranges which ripple into
infinity on the skyline. This sense of place,
which is one of the pleasures of fishing in
Ireland, can be experienced in different ways on
the many types of Irish river and lough. Lough
Mask is like an inland sea, but there are also
countless small loughs where the lone angler can
fish in
sheltered solitude. Major rivers like the
Munster Blackwater in the south offer sport with
salmon and scenery on a grand scale, while a
more intimate experience can be enjoyed on the
minor limestone trout streams such as those
which wind through the green pastures of County
Meath. But while Irish game angling is a sport
of varied landscapes and many seasons, it has
one abiding virtue; it still offers an authentic
angling experience in a world where this is
increasingly rare.
