Additional Irish Angling Festivals

Outstanding match fishing venues throughout the whole of Ireland.

Ireland has some of the most lightly fished rivers and lakes in Europe and with no close season for coarse fishing it is an ideal venue for angling festivals throughout the year. There is a huge network of fish bearing rivers and lakes along with big river tributaries and numerous loughs of varying size.

Many coarse angling visitors come for the unique angling festivals which take place for much of the year in rural Ireland. A hearty Irish welcome and the great match fishing experienced by coarse anglers is complemented by the numerous cultural events that take place during the festival week.
