Over the years, we've done many trips with Andrew Ryan and his guides at Clonanav Fly Fishing in Clonmel and always look forward to returning. Recognized as the premier destination for stream fishing in Ireland and offering unparalleled levels of service and quality guiding, Andrew and his guides always deliver on excellent trout fishing, and lots of good salt-of-the-earth Irish humor. We thought Pennsylvania was green in June – until we saw the Emerald Isle. That is one reas

Hi all, just taking a minute to check in. I wanted to wish everyone Happy Holidays and to share some images from both Argentine Waters and Tecka. I leave January 9th to go back to Argentina but this time to Pira and Jetu'U with 3 groups fishing for golden dorado.

Honestly this is rare especially since it always sells out but someone was holding it and has now backed out. In my opinion, fishing out of Pira offers the best golden dorado fishing in the world. It is without question my favorite fish aside from trout. The fishing takes place in th

Good morning, Just wanted to touch base. Italy & Slovenia were both a challenge and thanks to Slovenia, our trip ended on a really high note. When we got to Italy it pretty much started to rain and never really stopped. We caught some fish and had a good time but the weather certainly impacted our fishing. Slovenia on the other hand greeted us with beautiful weather, clean water and some nice fish. We will definitely be back next year. Keep this trip in mind- it's a great des
