With the worldwide recession, fishery owners, lodges and guides across the globe are reducing
        their charges so that salmon anglers can keep fishing and new anglers can be attracted to the sport.
In Ireland, the Lodge - in conjunction with its beat owners -  is leading the way
by now making salmon fishing more affordable for everyone.
Cast your eye on this...............
For the 2013 season, fishing rates on the Lodge beats will range from €15 per day up to €80 per day
in the prime times.   Some of these rates reflect a reduction on 2012 prices of over 50%.
