Munster Anglers to Represent Ireland

The International 5 Nation’s Fly Fishing Championship will be held in Inverurie, Scotland on the 16th and 17th of September 2025. The Trout Anglers Federation of Ireland will be represented by two teams of four Anglers at this championship. Ironically one of these teams will be made up of four Anglers from Munster. Mike Kelleher and Michael Twohig (Kanturk), Don O’Leary (Macroom) and Jim Russell (Kilworth). This is a very experienced team of Anglers with vast international experience and their angling knowledge and expertise on the international stage will hopefully reap rewards for Ireland.

The competitors will fish on four three hour sessions in 4 different locations: Upper and lower river Don, Lintrathen Loch and Lochter Trout fishery.

The inaugural International 5 Nation’s Championship was held in Scotland in 2014 and rotates between the competing countries each year. The competing nations are: Scotland, Ireland, England, France and Luxembourg.

We wish very success to our Irish competitors and indeed to all the participants.

L to R, Michael Twohig, Jim Russell, Mike Kelleher and Don O Leary who will be representing Ireland in the 5 Nation's fly fishing championship in Scotland this September.
