Angling

Blue Water is one of Ireland's top deep sea angling boats, skippered by the owner, John Brittain and offering full packages of accommodation, reef, shark or tuna fishing. With shark and tuna angling round Clifden amongst the finest in Europe, good catches and lasting memories are ensured. Whether hunting specimen Blues, giant Tuna or simply boating as many different species as possible, Bluewater will get you to the fishing grounds at top speed and even the Tuna shoals may be reached comparatively quickly. <br><br>At the moment Bluewater is departing from Cleggan, which suits fisherman better, since embarkation is from a jetty and the grounds are thus even closer. Whatever your level of experience, we can cater for it. Beginners make respectable catches and experts can, and have, landed record-breakers. Individuals and groups welcome.

Delphi is one of the most famous salmon fisheries in the West of Ireland. Its wide variety of fly fishing, both on river and lake, its spectacular setting and its 170-year angling history, help to make it a special haven for fishermen. Surrounded by the highest mountains in the west of Ireland and with over a hundred inches of rain a year, Delphi is wild, often wet, wonderfully secluded and completely unspoilt. Crystal clear streams feed the magnificent lakes that are all linked to the sea by the pretty Bundorragha River. <br><br>The river has over twenty productive pools and, because of the settling effect of the lakes, it almost never colours up, making it ideal for fly-fishing even after very heavy rain. The two main salmon lakes, Finlough and Doolough, could not be more different. Finlough, which the Lodge overlooks, is small, mostly quite shallow and very beautiful. In contrast Doolough is big, deep and awesomely impressive. Both can produce good numbers of salmon at any time in the season.
