I have written an article for a Dutch fishing website of last years fishing trip to Ireland. I would like to share this with you, so I have translated the article.
Irish spring Bass 2011 (19-04-2011 to 24-04-2011)
Ireland has a very special place in my hart. The beautiful wide and rugged country side, the silence, the people and off course the wide variety of fishing opportunities. That’s why I decided last winter, in the middle of the third ice age, to plan another trip to Ireland.
This year I chose, contrary to previous years, for a fishing expedition in the spring instead of the summer. My dad, my trusted travel companion, had planned another trip, so he couldn’t join me. I decided to travel across the pond on my one and, together with fishing guide John, to roam the shores of amazing Kerry.
Because I don’t like driving on the “wrong” side of the road and because I think it is a waste to park a rental car next to the lodge for a week, I took the train from Cork to Killarney. Ther I was greeted by John’s lovely wife Lynn. After an hour drive through the mountains and lot’s of catching up, we arrived at about 16.00 at the Thatch Cottage Fishing Lodge..
