County Kerry with its abundant array of lakes, Loughs, Rivers and rugged coastline means that wherever you are in the County you are never far from water that is richly populated with a variety of fish species.

There is all year round coarse and pike fishing in thousands of venues ranging from tiny tranquil lakes and sheltered rivers to wide, deep rivers such as the Feale, the Laune and the Blackwater.

And of course the famous Killarney lakes and Loughs for breathtaking beauty. Some are massive and taking a boat out can be the start of an angling adventure, whether in search of huge predatory pike a lovely sea Bass or one of the unique strains of brown trout, which are interspersed throughout the county.

The seasonal runs of migrating Atlantic salmon and sea trout with the iridescent blue flanked summer grilse straight from the ocean are the game angler’s other quarry.

Few will forget their first salmon as it comes up to the fly ... a swirl in the water; the bend on the rod and the screeching of the reel as the line strips out and the fight begins.

Charter boats can take the sea-angler offshore to explore the wealth and diversity of species, which are to be found in the warmer waters of the Atlantic Gulf Stream on the south and west coasts.

For those who prefer to stay on terra firma, the sound of Atlantic surf breaking on beautiful sandy beaches is the backdrop for the shore angler in search of hard-fighting bass.

There is solitude and tranquillity and for those who like to fish in company, good companionship, excellent food and great ‘craic’ are guaranteed when the fishing day is ended. Besides tall fishing tales, interspersed with the truth, new methods, lures, flies and places to try are discussed in anticipation for the next day.

Local knowledge, whatever the type of fishing, is always going to give the angler a better chance of success. So plan in advance to find out which waters will fish best to coincide with your trip.

Gain knowledge of the methods that will work best to help achieve success at the time of year of your visit and even better book a guide who will try his hardest to help you have an angling experience of a lifetime.

County Kerry is famous for its salmon and sea trout rivers. Fishing for Atlantic salmon is generally easily accessible and reasonably priced. The biggest fish, ‘springers’ usually run in the early months and weigh in at several lbs.

Throughout the season, many fish are caught in double figures with some reaching the early 2Olbs mark.

Grilse, smaller salmon that appear in the summer months from around early June, are swift, acrobatic and ready takers of the fly. They are distributed throughout most of the rivers and can be caught in large rivers such as the Feale, the Laune and Blackwater and also the many small spate rivers running into them.

Salmon can also provide fine sport while Lough and lake fishing. Generally, salmon take best when fresh in from the sea, or just when the water is clearing after a flood.

The single most important element in salmon angling is finding where the fish are. In rivers this means knowing the lies, the places where the salmon rest. This knowledge remains the key to catching fish.

When Fishing in Kerry you should seek the helpof a local experienced ghillie or local Fishing Tackle shop, (You will see a list of them further on) especially when planning to visit big rivers such as the Laune, Blackwater and Feale.

These are prime examples of rivers, which can require deep wading in order to cover the lies effectively. Not only will your ghillie advise youof the most likely spots where fish may be located, but also what flies or spinning lure will work best and advice on wading down the river safely.

Record Breaking Lure!

Sea trout also run most of the salmon rivers making their appearance usually from late June to August as they return from feeding in estuaries and coastal waters. Size varies from 8oz to exceptional specimens of over 6lbs.

Many sea trout anglers prefer to fish at night than during the day when the trout seek cover. Small spinning lures are a firm favourite with anglers targeting sea trout during the day. As with salmon they can be readily caught inreceding summer floodwater.

Trout Fishing Secrets

The Kerry brown trout can be found in almost all Rivers Lake and Loughs. In County Kerry it is a fish of an infinite variety of colours and sizes according to its environment. The acidic water from the Kerry Bogland produces small but brilliantly coloured fishwhereas the trout from limestone Loughs can reach up to 2Olbs.

Trout fishing in the Kerry Lakes and rivers is largely governed by the rhythms of the fly hatches on both Lough, Lake and river. The main hatches of duck fly emerge in late March and April and herald the startof the dry fly-fishing.

May is one of the best months for the angler with the appearance of mayfly and what many regard as the most exciting of the Lough and Lake fishing. Lake olives, hawthorn and sedge also have their own timeslots. Again, the importance of having Kerry fly patterns cannot be emphasised enough for both wet and dry fly fishing.

Tackle and equipment

Most large towns in Kerry have fishing tackle shops where leader material, flies and other equipment may be bought. Shops with a full range of rods, reels and clothing. Kerry fly patterns may also be bought in these shops.

Tackle shops can be excellent sources of angling information, especially local information, and will usually supply fishing permits for local waters.
