Christopher Defillon Fishing Guide in Ireland
In 2012, I founded Evasion Pêche Irlande, offering fishing trips to all anglers eager to explore Ireland and its exceptional aquatic world.
Born in Annecy, France, I started fishing at an early age. I had the privilege of fishing in the stunning Alpine lakes, rivers, and mountain streams. Each experience allowed me to enjoy breathtaking landscapes while mastering different fishing techniques, such as fly fishing and lure fishing, and catching a variety of species.
Twelve years ago, I decided to learn English, which led me to live abroad. Naturally, the country I chose needed to satisfy my passion for freshwater fishing. After some research, one destination stood out: the magnificent Ireland.
I spent years traveling and fishing in Ireland, starting with popular locations before discovering hidden spots that are now uniquely mine and rarely visited by other anglers.
Today, I am based in County Meath, in the Boyne Valley, home to the renowned River Boyne, an excellent location for trout and salmon fishing. This picturesque river, famous for its large fish, provides me with exclusive access to numerous private stretches where I guide my clients.
Why Hire a Fishing Guide in Ireland?
A guide helps you focus on the essentials: fishing in optimal conditions with expert knowledge of the terrain and species.
It’s also about sharing a mutual passion in a friendly and joyful environment. With a flexible itinerary tailored to your needs, I ensure every trip is a perfect fit for your preferences.
Fishing, being subject to nature's whims—sun, wind, rain—requires adaptability. As your guide, I adjust to weather conditions to provide you with the best possible experience, ensuring your fishing trip is comfortable and productive.
Our trips also include enriching your understanding of aquatic ecosystems, entomology, and the best fishing techniques, all while respecting the environment.
