Welcome to Celtic Angling for all-inclusive Guided Fishing in the
Adare, County Limerick and County Kerry region of Ireland
Now taking bookings for 2018 Season - March 1st to September 30th - No deposit required
Paddy Dunworth, a fishing guide based near Adare has been flyfishing for 50 years and guiding visiting anglers for 20.
Paddy is a qualified Marine and Countryside Guide with training in Guiding, First Aid, Rescue/Emergency First Aid, VHF Radio. He has an intimate knowledge of the Fisheries and Antiquities of this beautiful region. An all-round angler and flytier, Paddy specialises in Trout, Sea-trout, Salmon , and includes fly-casting tuition for beginners and improvers as part of his guiding.
Paddy also holds a Garda Vetting Clearance certificate (Police Clearance) granted under the auspices of Language Travel Ireland for whom he is proud to partner with in providing Flyfishing Courses.
Paddy has guided anglers from 30 Countries+ and every State of the USA, speaks English, Gaelic, some French and a little German.
This is an all-inclusive service, all you require for your day's flyfishing is included in my Rates and is but one of a few in Ireland providing all .
ADVANCE BOOKING VERY ADVISABLE.
I will provisionally hold a day for you whilst you firm up plans, deposit not needed if you specify accommodation.
Take a minute on my FAQ page as this will help your and my planning.
It is always preferable that the fisherman/woman make contact with me rather than an intermediary. Because of the all-inclusive nature of my service and to ensure the day is as enjoyable as possible we will need to exchange information and details of both a fishing and non-fishing nature.
PLEASE BE HONEST AND REALISTIC ABOUT YOUR FLY-FISHING EXPERIENCE
Basic fly-fishing is a skilful pursuit, good fly-fishing even more so, controlled delicate and accurate upstream fly-fishing is the ultimate.
20 years guiding experience has taught me that the vast majority of clients underestimate our rivers and overestimate their skill level, our rivers are natural and wild so along with fly-fishing skills a level of fitness and wading skills are desirable, so please be realistic when considering this, particularly where inexperienced, young, elderly or infirm participants are concerned.
Fly-fishing is a bit like Golf, it involves skill, technique and loads of practice....you'll be a learner for a long time at both!
