looking for some advice on where to stay

danois

I am hoping to book a suprise holiday for my partner who is fishing mad loves fly fishing and loves taking the boat out for the day. I am maybe looking for too much here but is there somewhere that will cater for him fishing and will also cater for me and 3 kids?!?!

I dont want the kids to be bored silly while we are there.

Not too pushed on where in ireland just somewhere with a decent bit of fishing

Any suggestions greatly appreciated

presumably your are talking about trout fishing?
if so i would head for somewhere like Galway city or around there, it is very close to lough corrib which is very good for trout. boats and boatman are easily found around somewhere like oughterard. and apart from fishing there will also be loads of stuff for others to do. i am sure there are many other good spots around the country too.

Portumna may be a good base for fishing on lough derg, try the Shannon Oaks hotel.
They may advise about local fishing boat rental or Palmerston stores in the town (gary kenny).
Portumna would be convenient to Mount Shannon, where there would also be boat rental I'm sure.

time of the season would probably be a factor.... would certainly be happy if the missus surprised me with a few days on corrib during the mayfly:).



on a slightly biased note- lough melvin can be very good at times and is well located(Bundoran, mullaghmore, rossnowlagh etc) within 20 mins drive,
plenty to see and do to keep the little ones happy.

River and lake fishing, near some activities for non fishers/ kids etc. Friends from England had a good time and got some fish here www.drowessalmonfishery.com

I have visited Conemara for fishing holidays with my family and always had a great time too, just bring the midge repellent:D.
