Join Me this June for the Best the Emerald Isle has to offer

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 reason Ireland is our favorite destination at this time of year. The

gardens are growing, farmers are busy in the fields, the rivers are full, and

the fishing is perhaps the best that it will be all season.


This departure, while being a great fishing trip, is also a fun week for the non-

angling guests. With a private driver and coach, non anglers set out on their

own adventure everyday visiting castles, monasteries, and ancient villages,

including the Franciscan Friary (which dates back to 1269), St. Mary's Church

(1204), and much more. The coach will take us to and from the fly shop and deliver us back at the hotel at the end of the day.


Andrew not only has the premier fly fishing shop in all of Europe, he also

has access to almost 20 miles of private, controlled, catch-and-release trout

water with good populations of stunning brown trout averaging 14-22 inches.

This is amazing trout water and a testament to what careful management

practices can do for a trout stream.


Signature rivers are the medium size Nire, the Suir, and the Tar. All are

beautiful rivers and easy to wade. The fishing is most often dry fly with dry/

dropper combinations to brown trout – and no where are the browns prettier

than in Ireland! And for anyone wishing for a day or two of Atlantic Salmon

fishing, Andrew will provide the needed tackle. It's an unique opportunity

to be able to fish for both trout and salmon – another advantage of this

special destination.


The dates are June 12-21st, 2026. Again, this is the perfect destination for both an angler and a non-fishing partner. For more information please contact Kristene Fitzgerald at Frontiers 800-245-1950. She will be glad to answer any questions you have. I'd love to have you join me! -Barry
