Review
Peter O'Reilly deserves a PhD for his outstanding contribution to game angling. Well researched information, updated to contain e-mail and mobile phone contacts, facilities for anglers with disabilities and the latest catch statistics. A lavish publication and a must for every game angler. --Irish Times

Books about fishing come and go. But when a book is published for a second, third and now fourth edition, you have to say that the book is hitting the right sport. Loughs of Ireland will not only prove of value to those who are new to Irish fishing. Many of those anglers who already have a pervious edition of this book will, I feel surely buy the new edition to keep abreast of the changes that occur with time. --Trout & Salmon Magazine

Far more than just a guide-book, the latest edition of Peter O'Reilly s authoritative tome is a browser s delight. Chapter and verse on fishing waters great and small is delightfully mixed with anecdote, reminiscence and, where the author deems fit, blunt criticism. --Trout Fisherman Magazine

About the Author
Peter O'Reilly is Ireland's leading authority on the trout and salmon fishing for which his country is justifiably famous. Peter recently retired from his job as Game Angling Advisor to the Central Fisheries Board of Ireland, assessing the angling potential of the rivers and loughs. It was a job which took him to all corners of the country, visiting fisheries and talking to local experts, anglers and fishery managers about the condition of their fisheries and how they might be further improved. He is a regular contributor to Trout & Salmon magazine. He has lectured on angling at University College Dublin and is a fully qualified AGPAI flycasting instructor. His courses at Delphi Lodge and Ballynahinch Castle are much in demand and he also gives tuition on a one-to-one basis. Peter is an avid and skilful angler. He has represented his country at international level, not only at flyfishing but also, together with his son Patrick, as a member of the Irish Clay Pigeon Team. He lives in Navan, County Meath with his wife Rose, within sight of the River Boyne. From his house he can (almost) see the trout rising.
