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.

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.

A warm welcome awaits you in the quaint village of Glencorrib. We are fortunate in our location, just 18 miles from Galway City, with its world renowned shops, restaurants and bustling bars. In the other direction, we are just 5 miles from Cong village and the famous Ashford Castle with its tranquil garden walks. If you are after an action packed holiday, you can enjoy some hill climbing in beautiful Connemara or join one of our professional guides for a day out on Lough Corrib catching that fish of a lifetime. However, for those of you after a quieter stay, you can spend a day on one of the many local Premier golf courses, or simply watching the day drift by in the most beautiful surroundings.

The Corrib system is one of the few natural brown trout fisheries remaining in Europe. The system is a network of rivers and lakes, the Corrib, Mask and Carragh being the largest covering approx 26,500 hectares. The shallow alkaline waters with a myriad of insect life make for the finest trout fishing in the west of Ireland.

Our guides are Failte Ireland approved and have a history of fishing the Corrib system for generations. Their expertise and knowledge will enhance every opportunity to land the finest wild brown trout.

Operating out of picturesque Annaghkeen bay Corrib Anglers are just four miles from Headford. Coming from Galway turn left at the main intersection in Headford at Joyce’s supermarket and continue straight, without deviation, for four miles until you reach Annaghkeen bay. Our guide will be there to greet you. Alternatively we can collect you from Galway City, the airport, train station or bus terminal for a small fee. We can also collect you on the lake shore from any part of the Corrib. We have a number of partners who provide accommodation for anglers right by the shores of Lough Corrib in Headford.

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.

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.
