There is a wide range of rod and line fishing in Ireland in the following categories:

• Game Angling for salmon, sea trout, brown trout, and some rainbow trout - river and lake.
  
  
• Sea Angling - shore, inshore (small boat) and deep sea.
  
  
• Coarse (freshwater angling) for bream, rudd, roach, hybrids, tench, dace - river and lake.
  
  
• Pike and Perch - river and lake. (listed as coarse fishing Ireland)

In Ireland the visitor finds uncrowded waters containing a rewarding variety, quality and quantity of fish. When you also consider that many of these waters are virtually unfished - or at most under-fished - it is a situation rarely, if ever, found in Europe.

For the coarse angler on his first visit he can expect to break many if not all his personal records. A 40 pounds catch in a day is 'fair' by Irish standard! 100 pounds is good, but common enough for the angler who gets into one of the mighty bream shoals which inhabit river and lakes.

For the angler who wants quality more than quantity, Ireland has really something to offer. The pike fishing is legendary, the rudd amongst the best in Europe, whilst the tench and bream live up to their tackle-breaking reputations.

Irelands reputation as a haven for the game angler is steeped in tradition. Within a narrow compass, many areas can offer a variety of stillwater and river fishing at a cost that is always reasonable.

For the sea angler there are 3,500 miles of island punctuated coastline to explore, ranging from rocky outcrops, where multicoloured wrasse and hard fighting pollack abound, to miles of surf beaches where you will probably never see another angler and instead have the company of bass, rays, spurdog…. Even shark have been caught from the shore in some areas.
