A peaceful riverbank at golden hour

Our story

Mybrand began with a simple observation: there is no shortage of fishing information online, but much of it is scattered, outdated or written for people who already know the jargon. We wanted a single, reliable place where a newcomer could learn the essentials and a regular angler could refresh their knowledge.

We are not a tackle shop, a tour operator or a government body. We are independent writers and anglers who test the advice we share. When we describe a technique, a spot or a piece of gear, we describe what we have actually tried and what we have learned from the wider angling community.

What we do

Our site focuses on practical, honest guidance. We cover the main styles of angling found in Ireland — salmon, trout, sea and coarse fishing — along with the licences, seasons, safety and ethics that go with them. Every article is written to stand on its own and to help you make a better decision before you head out.

We deliberately avoid promising guaranteed results. Fishing depends on weather, water, timing and a fair amount of luck. What we can promise is clear, accurate information that gives you the best possible chance of a good day out.

Our mission

Our mission is to help people fish safely, legally and responsibly. That means explaining the rules without jargon, encouraging respect for fish and habitat, and helping beginners take their first steps without feeling overwhelmed.

We also want to support the long-term health of Irish fisheries. Sustainable angling depends on anglers who understand closed seasons, size limits and careful handling. We treat that as part of our job, not an afterthought.

How we work

We research each topic using official sources, published guidance and our own time on the water. We update articles when rules or conditions change, and we are happy to hear from readers who spot something that needs correcting.

If you have a question, a suggestion or a correction, we would love to hear from you. The best way to reach us is through our contact page.

Please note: the information on this site is provided for general guidance only. Always check current rules and conditions with the relevant authorities before you fish.
