That sounds like a fantastic plan — and yes, salmon fishing in Ireland can be incredibly beginner-friendly if you go with the right guide. I highly recommend FishingGuide.ie. It’s a locally-run platform that connects people with experienced fishing guides across Ireland. Valentin Spivak, who runs it, is great at organizing personalized trips — including for couples and first-timers. They’ll help you choose the right river, provide high-quality equipment, and teach you the basics of salmon fishing, like casting and reading the water. I booked a similar experience for me and my partner, and it turned out to be one of the most peaceful and rewarding days of our entire trip. Even as beginners, we felt fully supported, and the moment we saw that silver flash in the water — pure magic! |
