Introduction
Introduction
Ireland has on offer some of the finest game and coarse angling in the
world. The sheer number of angling waters is just mind boggling.
But before going fishing, lets begin with the basics.
The first thing you need to fish anywhere in Ireland for trout or salmon is the
government licence. You can get them from tackle shops, hotels and fisheries
boards.
The next thing you will need is a local permit , especially when you intend to
fish a river for salmon or sea trout.
Many of the lakes still have free fishing; but as a general rule: it is always
advisable to ask locally.
Do not open gates or cross farmland without permission.
Some words about the tackle
A light salmon rod, single or double handed; 10-12 foot long, fit to handle a
class 8 or 9 line is just perfect for any of the north west's salmon and sea
trout rivers. Floating lines with a short sinking tip are a favourite with the
local angler.
For your brown trout fishing a 9-10 foot rod class 6 or 7 is all you want. A
standard floating line will cover you for most situations here.
If you don't know how to handle a fly rod, bubble floating is a good method for
catching brown trout in the lakes. You would need an 8-9 foot rod and a line of
3-5 pounds, or 0.18 mm to 0.22 mm for that.
Spinning is another widely used technique to catch salmon and seat trout. You
should have an 8-10foot rod, comfortably casting weights of 40 grams or so with
a 10 to 15 pond line, that is 0.30 mm to 0.35 mm.
The coarse fishing tackle corresponds with that used everywhere else for
catching Perch, Pike, Bream, Rudd etc.
So, that's the tackle, and I'm sure you have a rod and line just about right
to fish anywhere in Ireland.
Do not open gates or cross farmland without permission.
Fishermen should always take care to see that the necessary permissions are obtained from the land - or fishery owners. The normal access to waters is over stiles.
Do not open gates and park cars in fields.
At all times respect landowners' property. Keep the waterside clean and bring your litter home.
Europe
The chapter Europe will be extended and complemented, as the fishing brings us to the various places. After completion of "The Bibio Live in Europe", there are no concrete trips or further continental programmes planned.
But, as the travelling angler knows: things can change from one minute to the next.

Top Ten, Flies for Ireland
This DVD is a must for every fisherman who wants to learn the delicate art of
flytying. Dietrich's enthusiasm for fishing shines as he methodically guides
the fishing fraternity through the complex task of making a fly.
Punctuated throughout this DVD is the success rate of choosing the right fly
for each occasion.
The beautiful scenery enhances the pleasure of this film, as does the dry
humour of his eccentric English friend "the great Raymondo". Watch as they
tramp the landscape, dressed as if extras in Monty Python's Quest for the Holy
Grail, (which in a sense they are, in a fishy sort of way).
114 minutes of fly-tying and fishing. Dietrich Bohnhorst's entertaining and
practical guide for every game angler.
