The Specimen Fish Reports – an Aid to a Great Holiday in Ireland.  There’s no ther country that produces such detailed information on specimen fish – coarse, sea and game – and offered publicly for your enjoyment. Serious anglers will revel in the detailed venues, baits, time of year and use the in formation to enhance their own chance of the catching that “bigger than average” fish.

Irish Specimen Fish Committee

Founded in 1953 the ISFC is an independant voluntary body. The committee consists of representatives from the Government Departments and official organisations interested in angling. Its objective is to verify, record and publicise the capture of trophy fish (ie specmen fish) on rod and line in Irish waters. The committe also ratifies Irish record rod-caught fish and a list of “Specimen Fish” is published annually by the Committee. Special mention must be made of the care and effort demonstrated by the Specimen Fish Committee while creating and publishing this very important annual report – a job well done!
