At Clonanav Fly Fishing we want you to enjoy every minute you spend fishing. If you really want that new piece of kit then we are here to help you get it. Come in and see us and bring the rod or reel that you would like to upgrade. We will photograph and clean up your rod or reel and put it on eBay. A minimum price is agreed to list the item.

Hardy, Greys, Sage, Guideline, Orvis, Loomis, Loop, Abel, Waterworks Lamson, etc. It must be in good condition, and have a reasonable resale value. We won’t always be able to help but we’ll certainly try our best. Assuming we can help, you’ll get great new kit at a reduced cost, you’ll feel good about recycling, and somewhere a fellow angler will be very happy to take on your old tackle. Everybody wins.

FI S HIN G Clonanav Fly Fishing

We offer the full package for fly anglers including accommodation, private fisheries, guiding, fly fishing school and a well stocked fly fishing shop. We are Irelands specialists in both guided and unguided river fishing on some of the best river trout fishing that Ireland has to offer. The river Suir and tributaries are famed worldwide for their excellent dry fly fishing for wild brown trout. These challenging and exciting rivers offer unparalled fishing for native brown trout in beautiful Irish country side. Clonanav has a range of private beats on the river Suir and tributaries.

T HR EE B E AU TIFUL R I V ER S River Suir

Irelandsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; second longest river and world famous for its dry fly fishing. It is a wide (30m/100ft) limestone river/spring creek flowing for 114 miles to the sea at Waterford port. The river has easy access and wading is a pleasure with a level gravel bottom. Often compared to the English chalkstreams the Suir is a fly fishing paradise with large numbers of free rising brown trout. Clonanav owns several fantastic beats on the river. The trout range in size from 8 to 16 inches with many numbers of larger fish. We regularly land fish in the 20+ inch size. A technical and challenging river to fish, the Suir should be on every anglers bucket list!

River Nire

A tributary of the river Suir, the Nire is a crystal clear mountain stream which flows from the comeragh mountains through the beautiful Nire Valley. A fast flowing river with many large deep pools this river has large numbers of native brown trout. With lots of tree cover it fishes well even on warm sunny days. It is just 500 m from Clonanav Fly Fishing, Tactics for this river include dry fly, nymph fishing and our most popular NZ style with a combination of dry and dropper. The fish range in size from 8 to 16 inches with an occasional larger fish.

River Tar

Another gin clear river which flows over large ranunculus beds and has been compared to the river Itchen in southern England. This river is a dry fly gem and offers fantastic sport on tiny dry flies and nymphs. Fish are plentiful but tend to be smaller than the other rivers, however larger fish are not uncommon. The shallow nature of the river means that dry fly fishing tends to suffice with little need for nymph fishing, making this river a purists dream!

FLY RODS

In developing SINTRIX® our specialist composite engineers and rod designers spent over two years experimenting with different types, and mixes, of carbon fibres combined with varying levels of 3M® nano silica resin. They also discovered that the normal manufacturing processes associated with carbon fibre rods had to be significantly changed in order to get the best from the new 3M® resin material. The final results were astonishing with up to 60% increases in strength and up to 30% savings in weight. Driven by our passion and determination to always push the boundaries—part of Hardy’s DNA since 1872—we now offer varying levels of SINTRIX® technology across our rod range, each level brings significant and tangible benefits over traditional carbon fibre construction.

Oracle Switch & EXP Switch

Switch rods are very fashionable at the moment and popular for fishing on smaller rivers and when targeting sea trout and Grilse on bigger rivers in the summer. They are very useful when smaller flies and lighter lines are required to improve presentation. They are called switch because being lightweight they can be cast single handed (like a normal single handed rod) or spey cast using both hands using the built in extension handle.
