"Ireland has innumerable inland waters, ranging in size from the longest river and the biggest lake in the British Isles, to countless little streams and loughs. Most afford fine game fishing for wild brown trout, seatrout and salmon and some are world famous for the superb quality of the sport they have provided for successive generations. Here, on Europe's western fringes, are some of the finest wild game fisheries to be found anywhere. Most are quiet and underfished, havens for the salmon and seatrout enthusiast seeking good sport in the wildness of Ireland's western landscape, or the brown-trout angler fishing amid the lush green meadows of the Irish Midlands and the limestone streams of County Clare. A Game Fisher in Ireland is a blend of description, anecdote, memories and illustrations, giving the visiting game fisher a flavour of a wide selection of Irish fisheries and their distinctive characters."
