    Hi,




    I'm an experienced fly fisher for Wild brown trout I'm wondering about salmon fishing, Probably won't take it up but it's nice to know....
    I'm thinking of starting but i don't really know , so no Posts Saying "You don't have a license" and all that Cr*p
    How much does a licence cost for a junior and a adult?
    whats the season?
    Could i use a Single handed fly rod (6 weight or a 7 weight) for salmon (I know they normally use double handed fly rods)

    Thanks I'm Wondering about it Ok.....

    hi,
    Junior licence €10
    Adult licence €56 for one district or €100 for all of Ireland.
    don't know about the fishing season :P
    dont know much about flyfishing but use brown or black flies for salmon

    good luck fishing :)
