I have been a local in Galway for almost 5 years now. I've spent 5 of those years as an angler chasing the Atlantic Salmon on the River Corrib, and some of the 4 years of my university degree studying the migrational habits of the Atlantic Salmon in Ireland. My life revolves around fish, and I am excited to share my passion and knowledge of the Atlantic Salmon.

“What a legend”
Loved our tour with Tom. Friendly and very knowledgeable. An interesting side of Galway that you can't experience anywhere else. Saw plenty of salmon, trout, and even a seal. Great way to spend an evening.
