Fresh water fishing in Ireland. What do I need to buy so I have the correct gear? Is ther a package out there for beginners? Could you direct me to any sites to read up on this? Could you give me advice from your own experience? Thanks a million.
Hello there. I live in the "Great Lakes" area of the US. I am an avid fisherman of trout and salmon. I think the first thing to consider is to match the prey of the salmon you’re targeting. Generally, spoons, spinners, and crank baits are what we use here.
As far as equipment, I’d start with a medium action rod and a equivalent reel that has a good drag. These fish are pure muscle, and if your drag is not set properly, they will snap you off frequently.
Best of luck in your fishing.

Good, heavy line
Quick and easy, but tight knot
Spinning is definitely a good option if done correctly but fly works too
After the first rainfall in autumn is a great time to go
Good luck!
spnning is a good opinion ,
you go through it after an autumn of rainfall.
