Brian Russell, a renowned Northern Ireland Fly Fishing Guide and three-time National Rivers Champion, lives in Ulster, a region famed for its pristine streams and waterways. Here, anglers can enjoy world-class wild brown trout and Atlantic salmon fishing. With his championship expertise, Brian is the perfect guide for an unforgettable fly fishing adventure in Northern Ireland.
Whether you’re planning a dedicated fishing holiday or a business trip, Brian tailors every detail—from transport to accommodations—to ensure an exceptional experience. He even offers evening fly fishing sessions for busy travelers, complete with all necessary gear.
Brian specializes in guided fly fishing on local rivers like the Bann, Cusher, Callan, and Lagan, all within 20 minutes of his home in Armagh, Antrim, and Down. For salmon enthusiasts, he recommends the Rivers Finn and Owenea in Donegal. Alternatively, explore the River Mourne and its tributaries—Strule, Camowen, and Drumragh—in Tyrone. For diverse catches, the Lough Erne system, Colebrooke River, and Lough Neagh (where Brian has fished for over 40 years) offer trout, sea trout, dollaghan, and salmon.
Combine fishing with sightseeing and golf along Antrim’s coastal rivers, where you can visit the Giant’s Causeway, Bushmills Distillery, or the Royal Golf Course in Portrush. Brian also excels in guiding along East Coast rivers, from the Fane in Louth to the Slaney, with deep knowledge of the Liffey in Kildare and Kells Blackwater in Meath.
