Staying at Adare Manor Hotel or Dunraven Arms Hotel , like to fly fish private natural Irish rivers for wild native browns?
Within Adare Manor Hotel fishing is on a small artificial lake on the golf course which is stocked with Rainbow trout, the river Maigue is not used.
However, I've guided Adare Manor guests for wild brown trout on private beats on the rivers Maigue and Deel (both 15mins drive) for 30 years,
all-inclusive, everything provided including hotel transfers, full details on my Rates Page
2. Introduction to River Fly fishing - Rates as Half-day above or New Shorter Intro session - 180Eu for 3 hrs, 80Eu pp extra, max 3, includes notes
light snacks/drinks. This option is for beginners/novices/kids 12+ and delivered in a user-friendly scenic stretch of the River Maigue at Adare- Photo Here
3. Learn to Fly fish whilst in Ireland? Learn to fly-fish in beautiful Adare, max 3 persons,choose from above to suit (31/2 or 3hr only) Photo here
NB : In June to Sept it might be better to opt for a half or extended half-day option as a full day can be challenging, high summer can see very dry conditions/low and clear water levels/ weeds, challenging fly fishing particularly for those lacking advanced skills, success is directly related to skill and experience...
Advanced skills means many years experience with upstream dry-fly/nymph, delicate, precise fly presentation whilst wading upriver to easily-spooked native/wild browns in tight casting spaces.
What do I need to do now?
Before getting in touch please read my FAQ page, especially paragraphs marked NB. Do look at types of water we use, links above.

Transport - I collect if clients are staying locally or you can rendezvous at Adare and travel to fishing with me. I don't normally transfer clients who are staying in Limerick city or further due to traffic and time constraints which can entail 4 one-way trips averaging 30mins at peak times.
NB When advising Paddy of your fly-fishing skill-level please be honest and realistic, if you just have downstream fishing skills (Swinging wet flies) please say so, do not assume you can master the more advanced upstream dry-fly or nymph approach as they are a world apart, properly presented upstream fly-fishing is a huge step-up from entry-level downstream fly-fishing and is a skill perfected over time.This matters as it helps choose a location to match your skill-level, we could lose an hour switching venues if you overestimate your experience or skill-level.
NB - For beginners or novice fly-fishers we fish the user-friendly section of the Maigue at Adare, my other river beats are only for fly-fishers with advanced fly-fishing skills.
Please be aware that Fly-fishing here is on naturally wild rivers and rough terrain and mostly involves wading rough and fast runs so a good degree of physicality and mobility is involved .
Some of my Waters: River Maigue at Cherrygrove River Maigue at Adare River Deel (8mls Club Water) Celtic Angling FB Fishing Photos
Should weather conditions render rivers flooded or too dangerous to fish around your date then No Fishing-No Fee applies
Guiding Rates (All-inclusive)
Please note that the minimum age is 12, fly-casting involves a physicality similar to golf and involves wading in fast water, a skill in itself
