The initiative was founded by a local angling expert.
Offaly County Council is announcing the official launch of Watershed Fly Fishing, a new sustainable tourism venture is opening today.
The initiative was founded by local angling expert and aquatic biologist Johannes Bulfin and offers guided, low-impact fishing experiences across Offaly’s scenic waterways.
The project received €39,000 in funding under Fáilte Ireland’s Regenerative Tourism and Placemaking Scheme, co-funded by the EU Just Transition Fund.
The venture aims to boost eco-friendly tourism while preserving biodiversity.
Mr Bulfin's custom-built fishing boat will allow visitors to explore the Shannon, Lough Derg, and more.
The year-round service is tailored to weather, seasons, and visitor interests.
