Republic of Ireland World famous for its large loughs offering some of the finest brown trout fishing on the planet. Anglers flock here for the duckfly (buzzer), mayfly and olive hatches when quality browns come on the feed. There aren’t many small waters but that’s not what this part of Ireland is about.
