Fishing

The Isle of Man has long been regarded as an Anglers’ paradise to both visitors and locals alike. So whether you prefer sea or freshwater fishing, at only 33 miles long and 13 miles wide you will be pleasantly surprised by the angling opportunities on offer in such a small area! 

Where else will you be able to fish for top quality trout in a secluded reservoir in the morning, beach cast for bass or tope in the afternoon, then try your luck for a sea-trout on a river as dusk falls all within a few miles of one another?

So whether you are a keen angler, or someone who wants to try out a new venture, you’ll find a range of freshwater and saltwater fishing options for you to explore. Enjoy the tranquil reservoirs, picturesque streams and Irish Sea at your own pace from dawn to dusk.

Fishing and Angling around the Island is an activity enjoyed by all ages, making it a perfect family activity for all. Free child licences for reservoir and river fishing mean that the family can enjoy a fun and affordable day out! For children and adults looking to learn how to fish, the Island also offers great tuition to help you learn or develop your fishing knowledge and skills.

The Island also offers exciting opportunities for Anglers looking to try something a little different. Kayak fishing is just one of the ways you can make your fishing trip to the Island one to remember. You can also head out on a boat for a day trip around the Island’s coastline.

So whether you choose to bring your own tackle or are looking to hire once you’re here the Island offers everything you may need for a fun, relaxing fishing experience.
