Why Book a Fishing Holiday in Northern Ireland?

Northern Ireland is a dream destination for anglers, offering some of the most scenic and productive fishing waters in Europe. The region is home to countless rivers, loughs, and reservoirs filled with trout, pike, and salmon.

The famous Lough Neagh, the largest lake in the British Isles, provides exceptional coarse fishing for bream, roach, and perch. Lough Erne in County Fermanagh is another top choice, a vast network of upper and lower loughs with hundreds of secluded bays. Salmon and trout anglers will also love the River Bann and River Bush, renowned for their runs in season.  Do note that rod licences and day tickets are required for fishing on Northern Ireland’s rivers and lakes.

Beyond fishing, Northern Ireland offers endless outdoor pursuits.  Explore the Causeway Coast, hike in the Mourne Mountains, or enjoy cycling and wildlife watching in tranquil countryside settings whilst on a fishing holiday.
