Daiwa Irish Pairs

8 weeks and counting to Day 1 of the 2026 Daiwa Irish Pairs!

If you are coming and haven’t already let me know please drop me a line asap. As it stands we are at around 30 pairs which will make for a great event yet again.

I will confirm itinerary nearer the time but it is currently planned that we will fish all anglers on each of Inch, Ventry and Cappaclough over the 3 days. Obviously this is subject to final numbers attending and weather conditions etc.

Any one still thinking of attending that wants more information please let me know.

Current list of advised entries for this year's Pairs event which takes place Saturday 19th September to Fri 25th September. If you want further details of the event do let me know.

If there are any changes to this or if you intend to fish the event and are not yet on the list please do let me know when you can as this helps us plan the event. 24 weeks and counting!
