Looking for some information. I have a chance to take some time and fish
in Ireland in May. What are my options?

Any recomendations? Not looking to break the bank here. What are the
chances on catching a salmon?

TIA R's Dave

Dave,
I was looking into this myself when I had a friend scout out Ireland last
year.
Not sure if you heard of Angling for Salmon on Ireland's Cork Blackwater.
It was voted Best Fly Fishing Guesthouse Hotel for 2006 Flyfisher Magazine.
Looks pretty complete and very tempting. The price seems right too, if I
calculated Ireland pounds to U.S. Dollars correctly.
In anycase, here is the link:

They're located in the South of Ireland near the border between Counties
Cork and Waterford. The Cork airport is less than an hour away.
fwiw,
-tom

Good. I'd advise you to get a book called "Trout and Salmon Rivers of
Ireland: An Angler's guide" by Peter O'Reilly.

I fish in the Northern half of Ireland, and don't know the Cork
Blackwater, but it has a great reputation.

If you're coming in May you should, though, also think of fishing
tro9ut one of the big Irish lakes. My favourite is Lough Arrow, but
Mask and Corrib are also wonderful. Terrific landscape too.
